1st Annual Liam's Legacy Event

Liam Lynch — the beloved son of Matthew and Elizabeth Lynch and cherished brother of Luke — was born on February 26, 2013, in Houston, Texas. He later moved with his family to Wheatfield and became a proud student at Niagara Wheatfield. 

The name Liam means “strong-willed,” “warrior,” and “protector” — all qualities that perfectly defined him. With a heart full of compassion and a smile that could light up any room, Liam left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

In 2019, at just six years old, Liam was diagnosed with lymphoma. He faced grueling rounds of chemotherapy with remarkable courage and with unwavering love and prayers from his community.

 In May 2022, Liam rang the bell at Roswell — a joyful, hard-won moment of victory. Ten months later his journey took another turn when he was diagnosed with a more aggressive form of leukemia. Once again he met each challenge with bravery, undergoing a bone marrow transplant and reaching remission. In February 2024 he relapsed, and after a relentless fight, Liam passed away on October 12, 2024.

Liam’s life — his kindness, his strength, and his instinct to help others — continues to inspire us. The mission of Liam’s Legacy is twofold: to celebrate the beautiful life Liam lived and to remove a small but meaningful burden for families facing pediatric cancer. 

With Liam’s heart and our hands, we can make a real difference.
