Liv's Legacy

The energy at Kelly's Angels 13th Annual Mother-Lovin’ 5K was unforgettable, and Team Live Like Liv was right at the heart of it. With over 160 participants, we were proud to be the largest team at this year’s event, honoring the life and legacy of Olivia Allen with every step.

Held at beautiful Saratoga Spa State Park, the day brought sunshine, community spirit, and an incredible 1,128 finishers—a record-breaking turnout. It was especially moving to reconnect with so many friends and families who have been part of our journey and to hear stories from those the Foundation has supported.

A huge thank you to the race organizers, volunteers, sponsors, and everyone who made this event so special. Your support fuels our mission and helps us continue spreading love, light, and hope in Olivia’s name.

Together, we Live Like Liv—and we’re just getting started.

Lacrosse Team Honors Liv's Memory & Raises $16K for Childhood Cancer Research

Local lacrosse players from Saratoga Springs and Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake united to honor Liv's memory. Prior to their game, the student-athletes completed 47 passes to highlight the 47 children diagnosed with cancer daily. Their touching LaCROSSe Out Cancer Challenge successfully raised an impressive $16,000. These funds were presented as a check to both the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation and the Live Like Liv Foundation. This powerful tribute underscores the community's dedication to supporting pediatric cancer research in Liv's name.

Local Hockey Players Come Together to Raise Money for a Good Cause

On February 1st, 2025, the Queensbury hockey team hosted Saratoga Springs for a heartfelt "Pink the Rink" event, honoring Bill Morris, a beloved teacher at Queensbury Elementary School. The game featured special tributes, with players skating in honor of loved ones affected by cancer. Olivia's cousin, Reece, wore #16 to honor Liv, with #LiveLikeLiv printed on his jersey. The Live Like Liv Foundation donated a basket filled with "all things Liv" for a raffle, helping raise funds for Bill Morris. The community came together to support a great cause, showing strength, solidarity, and love in the battle against cancer.

Will Detora, a friend of Liv's is dancing in honor of Liv at Penn State's THON. 

Will said, "Every year at Penn State we have a year-long fundraiser that culminates in late February with a 46 hour dance marathon in support of Four Diamonds. THON weekend is 46 hours long, and dancers and audience members stand and don’t sleep at any-point in time! Four Diamonds is an organization that provides support for families impacted by childhood cancer. They do a wonderful job of providing financial support, therapy, counseling, education and many other things to the amazing families impacted. THON is the largest student run philanthropy event in the entire world, and last year we raised $16,955,683 for the kids! My organization represents 3 families, two of which have lost children to cancer in the past. Interacting with families and forming relationships with them is an incredible experience that has a lasting impact on everyone, even when they graduate. This year I have the honor of representing my fraternity as a dancer and I could not be more excited and honored to show my support for the many families impacted by childhood cancer. For The Kids!"
