Maugansville Elementary School will be working with the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation to host a 1-mile run and Carnival titled “Henry’s Hustle”. We are hoping to raise funds in support of the fight against Childhood Cancer. Our goal is to raise at least $5,000 in donations to the cause. We have formed a committee who will spend the coming weeks preparing for this event, it is one of the biggest challenges this school has faced – the challenge of raising awareness of just how serious the epidemic of childhood cancer is. When and where will this all take place? The “Henry’s Hustle” event will take place on Saturday, May 22, 2010 from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. on the campus of Maugansville Elementary School. The 1-mile run will begin around 10:00 a.m. and will be open to all students, parents, and community members and will feature an Alex’s Lemonade stand on the course. Following the Run until 2:00 p.m. Maugansville will host a carnival fundraiser for the Alex’s Lemonade stand foundation with carnival games, food, prize raffles, and lots of fun. We hope as a community you will help support our efforts and this critically important cause by raising funds and attending our event. About Henry

Henry was born on July 22, 2004 and was diagnosed with Anaplastic Medulloblastoma on October 13, 2007. He was 3 years old at time of diagnosis and courageously underwent his treatment over the ensuing 9 months at Johns Hopkins Medical Center. Henry had his tumor removed, had three cycles of traditional chemotherapy, two cycles of high dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplant and had full head and spine radiation over the course of six weeks. Henry came through all of that with flying colors and was a normal boy enjoying life as a four year old for three months before he relapsed. His relapse was gentle on him, allowing us very good days throughout the fall and winter. Early in 2009 however the tumor growth caught up with him very quickly. Our hero fell on February 25 in our family room at home surrounded by love. We miss him terribly. We love you Henry.
