The University of Kentucky’s “Lift Them Up” program continues to be one of the best traditions in all of college sports, lifting the spirits of brave patients from Kentucky Children’s Hospital. In week 1, fans were inspired by the story of Molly, and last week Adi Jane. This Saturday, the program will introduce the Big Blue Nation to another special fan.
When the Wildcats take the field against Eastern Michigan, they will be led by four-year-old Tommy Smith, a happy and energetic little boy with an unbreakable spirit.
A special heart for a special boy
Tommy loves football, basketball, and soccer, and he cheers for two teams: the Leslie County Eagles and the Kentucky Wildcats.
