As we move through these uncertain and isolating times, there is a phrase that reverberates through the (temporarily virtual) halls of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation:

“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!”

We rounded up three stories from our supporters on social media that give us all the feels and help us jump into a weekend with a refreshed outlook.

1.    Izzy's Virtual Spirit Day

Childhood cancer hero Izzy celebrates her school’s spirit day at home by dressing as her favorite movie character.

Today for our district-wide spirit week is dress up as your favorite movie or book character. Of course Iz chose Rey from Star Wars. She said she’s both because she loves all her Star Wars books AND the movies. Can’t wait for the last one to makes its way to @disneyplus ! . . . #BRingonthespirit #BRingonthedistancelearning #communityiseverything #izzywarriorprincess #starwars #rey #forceawakens

Almost 80f out there today! Broke out the #teamlemon uni & thinking of the amazing work the folks at #alexslemonadestand foundation do. Another 5kish distance and probably the same tomorrow. Will be strange with no long run on a weekend, but obviously no races to train for! Seems to make more sense running more days for shorter distances and easier paces..no recovery and no overuse risk. #njrunning #alsf . . . . . #run #running #runner #instarun #instarunning #instarunner #instarunners #RunTraining #RunClub #RunningClub #runnersofinstagram #RunLife #RunningLife #WhyiRun #RunShots #runrunrun #RunningMotivation #RunToInspire #RunInspiration #JustRun #BeTheBestYou #LoveToRun #runningcommunity
