Today, we honor and celebrate Lukas Kusters and the Live Like Lukas Foundation. Lukas Kusters, known as “The Dutch Destroyer,” was a brave young boy who battled Rhabdomyosarcoma. After his untimely passing, his family established Live Like Lukas Inc. in late 2017 to honor his memory and give back to the community, inspired by the support they received from other non-profits. Join the Byrd Cancer Foundation at the 7th Annual Live Like Lukas 5k Run/Walk: Crushing Childhood Cancer on Saturday, September 14, 2024, in Wilmington, DE. Register Online https://lnkd.in/eMZHdtvz The Live Like Lukas Foundation was born out of an overwhelming desire to keep Lukas's memory alive by giving back. Inspired by the love and support they received from numerous non-profits during Lukas's illness, his mother sought to create an organization that would help other families facing similar battles. The foundation gained widespread attention following an ESPN special that highlighted Lukas's admiration for Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles, showcasing the special bond they shared.

Head and neck cancer can affect various areas including the mouth, throat, nose, and sinuses. But here's a surprising fact: Did you know that certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) are a significant risk factor for developing head and neck cancer? Unlike traditional risk factors like smoking and alcohol consumption, HPV-related head and neck cancers are on the rise, particularly among younger individuals. HPV, a common sexually transmitted infection, can also be transmitted through oral sex, making regular screenings and safe sexual practices crucial for prevention. Stay informed, stay protected! Understanding the risk factors can empower you to take proactive steps for your health. #ByrdCancerFoundation #DidYouKnow #HeadAndNeckCancerAwareness
