I've chosen to give a portion of my Bat Mitzvah gifts to a cause that our family loves: Alex’s Lemonade Stand. Shortly before her first birthday, Alex Scott was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer. When she was just four years old, Alex held her first childhood cancer fundraiser in her front yard and raised over $2,000. Today, the organization that she started has raised millions of dollars for pediatric cancer research. I learned about her cause from my mom, who was one of Alex’s nurses at CHOP. Alex has continued to inspire all of us 12 years later.

Please help support my Bat Mitzvah chesed project by donating to this important cause.
