Mischa's mission

Article Abstract:

Zimmerman was a popular and athletic 13 year-old when he was stricken with a brain tumor. Surgery saved his life, but left him bed-ridden and in despair over his diminished quality of life. An experience in charity prompted him to find new outlets for his energy and creativity, primarily by helping others who are suffering.
