Live Like Luke helps families with kids who have lengthy hospital stays. While many of our applicants have childhood cancer, we have also helped families with Sickle Cell Disease, Bacterial Meningitis, Trisomy 21, complicated heart surgeries, organ transplants, and more.
Our goal is to help families spend more time together while their child is in the hospital.

About Luke
We lost Luke, our beautiful 6-year-old son, on October 2, 2021, after a year-long battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Even in his six short years, it was evident that Luke possessed a joy, a lightness of heart, and bravery that we could all learn from. Simply said: we were better people for having him in our lives. We believe if we wake up every day with the intention of living the way Luke lived, we can live in a better world.
About Us
In an effort to Live Like Luke, we are inspired to help those who are facing the challenges of childhood cancer. Though Lukeβs time on earth was cut achingly short, the lesson he taught us as he bravely fought his battle with cancer endures.
While pursuing treatment for Luke, we witnessed firsthand the physical, emotional, and financial pressure impacting other patient families living in the rooms all around us.
It was common to witness young children alone in their hospital rooms because their parents could not afford to miss work. Parents are often forced to quit their jobs to be with their children during the intense medical treatment of their diseases, as well. These are just two examples of the heartbreaking difficulties we observed.
Lukeβs legacy of joy, presence, and bravery has inspired us to establish the Live Like Luke Fund. Our mission is to honor Lukeβs legacy by supporting families pursuing treatments similar to those Luke received during the last year of his life.Β
Live Like Luke
