In February 2007, we held our first "Alex's Lemonade Stand."  It was before "Lemonade Days," and shortly after the 2-year-old daughter of our parents' friends died of leukemia.  It was a cold day, so cold, in fact, that although we live in Florida, we served hot chocolate.  We raised about $200.  I was 9.  Since then, my sisters and I have held more than a dozen stands and raised over $10,000 for pediatric cancer research.  I'm now 20, and my sisters are 18 and 16, and we're still raising money for this very important cause.  If you can, please stop by our stand on Saturday, June 9 for a cup of lemonade!
