Join us for our 8th annual Lemonade stand to raise money for Childhood Cancer Research through Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. 7 years ago in June of 2018 our son, Toby, was diagnosed. On that day we became just one of the 47 families who receive a childhood cancer diagnosis every single day in the US.
We will have lemonade for a free will donation to ALSF.
The cancer Toby fought (T-ALL) is a rare type of leukemia that had a much lower survival rate just a decade ago. Thanks to research by organizations like ALSF, new advancements brought up the cure rate to nearly that of common leukemia and after 963 days of treatment Toby is now over three years off treatment and thriving.
However, too many kids don't get the same news. Just last year Skylar, a young friend we initially met in the hospital, passed away and the year before, our little friend Ethan did as well, both after fighting Neuroblastoma. We are holding our stand in their honor and in their memory all proceeds are designated to the ALSF Neuroblastoma Research Fund in hopes that in the near future there will be gentler and more effective treatments so no more kids die of this terrible cancer.
