ALSF Hero Ambassador Kaela Cruz lost her leg to osteosarcoma, the most common type of childhood bone cancer, when she was just 5 years old. Read more about her story, in her own words.
How far would you go for childhood cancer? Would you help us on this journey to one million miles this September?
Each September, ALSF hosts Alex’s Million Mile, a month-long fundraising event that builds awareness for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Last year, more than 15,000 people logged miles and raised money for childhood cancer research. Everyone can make the most of their steps (and miles!) in September by running, walking and biking to collectively exceed one million miles!
Happy April! Spring is in the air. At Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, warmer weather means it is time to prep for our annual Alex's Million Mile in September.
Updated 9/25/2015 at 2pm: We did it! Thanks to your generosity we maxed out the $25,000 Volvo match! Thank you for your support - $25,000 is enough to fund approximately 500 hours of childhood cancer research!
Ready, set, donate! During the next 25 hours, Volvo will match all Alex's Million Mile donations up to $25,000. You can donate to any Alex's Million Mile team.
Maggie is the definition of a survivor. She battled osteosarcoma at 9 years old and thankfully came out the other side. She is now a full-time member of Team Alex planning and running special event fundraisers.
