Welcome to The Merry Mob!

Now in our 5th year of raising money for Alex's, we are a group of releatives and friends who wanted to help.  We knew that we had big goals, and that reaching them might be hard, but then, we had seen what hard really is...

On May 10, 2012, then-3 year old Meredith (Merry) was diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). We, like so many other families with children diagnosed with cancer, learned what hard really is. It is chemo, and radiation and losing your hair. It is not being able to play outside, or go to the park, walk up stairs, or even eat. It is watching a child you love suffer through all of this with more strength than you thought was humanly possible. By comparison, couldn't we try these things we thought were hard? And couldn't we try to help raise some money to support childhood cancer research while we do it?

And so, the Merry Mob was formed, lead by Meredith's mother, Megan.  With siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends, we have will continue to raise money for this wonderful organziation. This year, The Merry Mob will again participate in a number of upcoming events to support Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, and raise awareness about childhood cancer. Previous events have included triathlons, half marathons, and of course, Lemonade Stands.  This season's first event will be our Lemonade Stand at the Long Valley Fireworks and Green Festival.  We hope to add additional events throughout the fall.

So far:

Merry Mob Lemonade Stand :  The Weinberger Family and friends will be hosting a Lemonade Stand at the Long Valley Fireworks, Food Truck and Green Festival. Come out, enjoy your neighbors, fun foods, fireworks and help fight children's cancers!

Please support us and Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation in our fight against Pediatric Cancers.
