Luke inspires others by overcoming adversity and giving back

In 2023, 10-year-old Luke was injured playing football at his school in Los Banos. His parents brought him to Valley Children’s just in time, as Luke had punctured his small intestine and soon became septic. Luke had emergency surgery and was in the Valley Children’s Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) for a week and was then transferred to the Rehab unit, where he stayed for one month. His mom tells everyone, "PICU saved Luke's life. Rehab brought Luke back to life."
