Stories
Wishing big for childhood cancer
Thanks to the care his daughter, Finley Holland, received at the St. Jude Affiliate Clinic in Peoria, Illinois, Lion Tony Holland wanted to give back to the hospital. That’s why he turned to LCIF to help him “wish big” and make a difference for more than 5,000 kids living with cancer and their families.
