Middletown, NJ resident Luca Iacono was a bright, loving, witty child with a passion for family, friends, and sports. He was a multi-sport athlete, excelled at football, and dreamed of becoming a running back for his favorite team, the NY Giants. The world heartbreakingly lost this energetic, passionate boy to Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer.

On September 18, 2022 the amazing Lauren Moore, Samantha Cutler and their awesome team of volunteers held the 1st Annual Love for Luca 5K run/walk and it was a HUGE success!  With the money that Luca's community raised, Infinite Love will be able to fund TWO Rhabdomyosarcoma research grants in Luca's name (grants to be announced in March 2023).  

“Luca was wise beyond his years and taught those around him not to waste a single moment, to always smile, be happy, and that life was a gift not to be wasted.”

Rain couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of everyone who came out and supported, ran, walked, volunteered, and Made It Amazing!   We had hundreds of amazing runners and walkers lace up their shoes and hit the pavement in NJ, in CT, and worldwide.  It was amazing and such a show of how good things can happen when awesome people come together!

A big part of Infinite Love's fundraising goes toward research grants that are evaluated and vetted through a careful review process.  This year's recipients receive dollars raised during 2020. To honor Sona Kocinsky's battle (and now in remission!!), our first grant goes to fight Osteosarcoma.

Visit our Research page for a complete list of grant recipients to see where your 2020 dollars will be hard at work in 2021 to fight these deadly diseases that take far too many of our children every year. 

Michael is an energetic, fun-loving, happy and beautiful 6-year old boy who LOVES swimming, and playing in the park with his twin sister Julianna.  Unfortunately, on August 9, 2022 Michael was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is having to spend weeks at a time undergoing chemotherapy in the hospital.  

Things have been challenging for the Norman family to say the very least, so any donation that you can make is appreciated.

In addition to speaking engagements, fundraisers and our social media presence, we're always looking for creative ways to reach and educate the masses about childhood cancer, and this original song (and award winning music video) does just that!

Childhood cancer research is grossly underfunded receiving only 4% of the NCI's annual research budget!  In fact, in 25+ years there have only been 3 new drugs developed for ANY type of childhood cancer!  At Infinite Love funding research is one of our biggest priorities. Click here to learn more.

From the moment we meet a family, we do our best to be there for them in their journey, whether they need financial or emotional support.  Sometimes the little things can mean the most.
