Last year, my team met a sweet little boy named Owen, who was in the middle of his own fight against cancer. In spite of his struggle, he was there, cheering everyone on as they climbed and talking to them as they finished. He was so positive, talking about his chemo treatments and telling us all about his favorite super heroes.

One of our team members kept in touch with his mother and he became our inspiration. We made him an honorary member of our team.We even got him a team shirt and on the back where we have our funny sayings where everyone can see them, his says "Our Superhero." (When climbing stairs in a race, you are constantly looking at the back of the person in front of you so we decided to make that fun for folks behind us.)

About 6 months go, he was officially finished with his treatments and he is now in remission. This year he his coming back, as a climber instead of one of the children being helped by Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF)! I can't wait to see him in person again and talk to him about his favorite superheroes.

Please help me raise money for ALSF so more children like Owen can be saved and cures for childhood cancer can be found. I am climbing for a cure!
