Make a Difference

With Families in the Fight

Every year, families in our community receive the devastating news that their child has cancer. In an instant, their world changes—becoming filled with hospital visits, financial strain, emotional stress, and the uncertainty of what lies ahead.

We exist to make sure those families don’t walk that road alone. The Strongman Luca James Foundation provides financial relief to ease everyday burdens, emotional support to bring comfort, and a community that surrounds them with love and strength.

Our purpose is simple: to ensure that families facing childhood cancer have the care, resources, and hope they need—not just to get through treatment, but to feel supported every step of the way. And as we grow, our commitment remains the same: to stand beside every child and family with the compassion and strength that once carried Luca and his loved ones.

It All Started with Luca

At just two years old, Luca James was diagnosed with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Through countless treatments and hospital stays, his courage and bright spirit earned him the nickname “Strongman Luca James.” The love and support his family received during that time became the inspiration for a foundation dedicated to giving other families the same strength and hope.
