Saturday Nov. 2nd @ noon we are hosting a free lemonade stand at Na Na Thai. From November 1 - December 31 we are donating $2 of every Crab Chips sold to help Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation move one step closer to finding a cure for all children with cancer! You can join me by helping me plan this event, attending my event, or making a donation right to this page. The money you donate will pay for research to find better treatments and cures for childhood cancer. Please help kids and their families by providing desperately needed hope! Thanks for your support!Every donation adds up to cures for kids like my cousin, James.James was not yet 2 years old when his family noticed he started acting differently from his happy self. After being diagnosed with leukemia, James went through intense treatment for the years to follow. I was pulled out of school to go to Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles to visit him every chance I could.We shared a love for orange Tic Tac®s and making people laugh. He was my best friend. When I would visit him in his room during chemo, I dressed up fully in what I remember as a ‘hazmat suit’. One day I snuck in orange Tic Tac®s, waited for the nurses and our parents to leave, and handed them over to him. I only told my mom about this after he passed as I worried I had something to do with it. She assured me it did nothing but make his last couple days that much brighter.The day before he passed, we were outside on the grass in front of Children’s Hospital. He was in a wheelchair and I remember him asking me for a hug. A hug that lasted well over an hour... my family and nurses watched and I saw many of them tearing up. I was too young to understand what was really happening, so I just sat there enjoying my time with my cousin and will never forget it as ‘the longest hug in history’.He lives on through my kids and my memories.With your help, we can blow the lid off this fundraiser!!!
