Join Me in Celebrating Life and Giving Back!

In honor of my golden birthday and 15 years since my own cancer diagnosis, I am hosting a Golden Birthday Fundraiser to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer research. This cause is deeply personal to me, as a childhood cancer survivor, and I want to ensure all children have the opportunity to celebrate their golden and milestone birthdays.

My goal is to raise at least $15,000 for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF). Every dollar raised will go directly to ALSF, supporting their mission to fund critical research and provide support to childhood cancer families.

Why Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation?

ALSF is the largest independent childhood cancer charity in the United States. They focus on:

Funding Innovative Research: Developing new treatments and, ultimately, cures for all types of childhood cancers.
Supporting Families: Providing travel for treatment, financial assistance, and other critical resources.

The Need for Support

Each year, over 15,000 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with childhood cancer. Despite this, research funding for childhood cancer is vastly underfunded. The recent 2025 U.S. federal budget cuts have further reduced provisions designed to support pediatric cancer research and accessibility. This makes the role of independent charities like ALSF more crucial than ever.

How You Can Help

Join me in making a difference:

Attend the Event: Come celebrate with us, enjoy activities, and show your support in person.
Volunteer: Help with planning, organizing, or running the event.
Donate: Make a direct contribution on this page. Every donation, big or small, gets us one step closer to finding cures for childhood cancers.

The funds raised will pay for research that could lead to better treatments and cures, giving hope to kids and their families. Your support is desperately needed and deeply appreciated.
