In 2018, Mariana and her brother Marko created KICK IT FOR BRAIN CANCER, bringing Cure Brain Cancer Foundation and the A League together for an entire round of football, raising significant national awareness across all media outlets and much needed funding to Brain Cancer research, following the near death of their mother to the disease.
