Ike leads cancer fight

Ike Davis constantly thinks about his childhood friend, Mike Lio, who died at the age of 22 from Ewing’s Sarcoma. In Lio’s memory, Davis is hosting his second annual charity event Sunday at the City Winery to benefit Solving Kids’ Cancer (SKC) and the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative.

“Mike had his whole life ahead of him,” said Davis. “When I get down because of something on the field, I just think about what he went through.I just want to do everything I can to keep his memory alive.”

“A Night with Ike’’ also will feature a concert by country-western star Lee Brice and celebrity bartending featuring Davis and his Mets teammates. For ticket information, go to http://www.solvingkidscancer.org.
