Zuza Beine cancer fighter, a beloved 14-year-old social media influencer from Wisconsin, passed away after a courageous battle with acute myeloid leukemia. For more than a decade, Zuza shared her unfiltered journey with cancer on Instagram and TikTok, amassing nearly 2 million followers who drew strength from her honesty and resilience.
Unlike curated influencer content, Zuza’s videos were deeply authentic — chronicling chemotherapy, pain, scars, and the daily grind of fighting leukemia since age three.
