What do you stand for? I stand for finding a cure for all kids with cancer. I'm Bailee Madison and as Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation's Youth Spokesperson, I've been helping to fight childhood cancer since 2010.
Collin was a social butterfly who loved to have fun. He was diagnosed twice with ALL, and after 12 wonderful years cancer-free, he was diagnosed with mucoepidermoid carcinoma and began fighting all over again. Sadly he passed away, but was an inspiration.
Happy Alex’s Lemonade Days!
