Every year, an estimated 250,000 new cases of cancer affect children under the age of 20 worldwide. That's about 700 new kids affected every day. And yet, childhood cancer is vastly and consistently underfunded. Less than 5% of the federal government's total funding for cancer research is dedicated to childhood cancers each year.

As a 17 year old cancer survivor myself, I was profoundly moved by the story about how an 8 year old cancer patient managed to raise over a million dollars to contribute toward childhood cancer research,  so I decided, why not do a lemonade stand of my own?

I am carrying on Alex's inspiring legacy by raising money to fight childhood cancer. Will you make a donation? As Alex's life showed, our small contributions can make a big impact. Thank you!
