Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer

Brady Andrew is a boy who wins the hearts of all who meet him. He is one of a set of triplets and also has a younger sister. As his siblings learned to walk and run, Brady never did. It was a mystery to all of the doctors and specialists since he had developed wonderfully until then. Finally, at the age of 20 months, Brady was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Arriving at this diagnosis was nothing short of a miracle. Brady had surgery 4 hours after diagnosis to relieve the pressure that the massive tumor was creating on his spinal cord. The surgeon said that it could have paralyzed him at any point. He then received two rounds of chemotherapy which did not change the remaining tumor. His family took him to NYC to be operated on by an amazing surgeon. He made a miraculous recovery in only 5 days and was home just in time for Easter. In the months that followed, Brady learned to take his first steps just before his 2nd birthday. He continues to inspire his family who are now committed to raising awareness and funding for pediatric cancer causes. In September of 2009 Brady and his family hosted their 1st Alex's Lemonade Stand raising over $2,000. The most important message in Brady's story is that with God ALL things are possible!
