3rd Annual Live Like Lukas 5k Run/Walk Crushing Childhood Cancer September 25, 2021 – Saturday Wilmington, DE Race Day Registration will be available from 8am |
Live Like Lukas Inc. was formed in late 2017 after the untimely death of Lukas Kusters, also known as “The Dutch Destroyer”. After losing Lukas, it weighed heavily on his mother's heart to find a way to honor him and keep his memory alive by giving back. She firmly believes that her family would have been completely lost during their journey if it weren't for the assistance they received from many other similar non-profits.
Due to an outpouring of love and support after the airing of an ESPN special highlighting Lukas and his love for Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles, and the special time they were able to spend together, Live Like Lukas Inc was formed as an avenue for folks to purchase “Dutch Destroyer” bracelets and donate to the cause. Live Like Lukas’ mission is to honor him and keep his memory alive by supporting families fighting childhood cancer, childhood cancer research, and local non-profit organizations that Lukas loved. All proceeds or donations are allocated based on those three areas of focus.
