There is nothing like a little dancing to shake loose the negativity and bring out the joy. A few weeks ago, we challenged everyone to give a special TikTok dance a whirl. Supporters, childhood cancer heroes and SuperSibs all joined in the fun and they are not stopping! (Read more below about how you can dance to help fight childhood cancer).
This Feel-Good Friday, meet four Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) hero families, who certainly make us feel better when they are dancing:
1. Eden and Mya
At 10 years old, Eden fought a cancer so rare it had no name, and so aggressive she had to fight it twice. After years of treatment, including enrolling in an ALSF funded clinical trial, Eden was declared NED (no evidence of disease) in March 2019! Her sister Mya has always been by her side.
2. Emily
When her brother Ryan was just a baby, he was diagnosed with ependymoma, a type of brain tumor. Today, Ryan is 11 years old and cancer-free!
3. Izzy and her mom, Sonia
Two weeks after her first birthday, Izzy was diagnosed with a spinal cord tumor. The tumor and surgery left Izzy unable to walk. After hours of therapy and immeasurable amounts of spirit, Izzy is now 6 years old and dancing!
4. Morgan and McKenzie
Morgan was 5 years old when she was diagnosed with Wilms tumor. Today, Morgan is cancer-free and celebrating with her SuperSib McKenzie!

For every dance video that tags @AlexsLemonade and #DanceWithALSF, our national partner, Northwestern Mutual, will donate $20 to ALSF in honor of 20 years since our founder, Alex Scott, held her first lemonade stand.
Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation is launching a social media campaign inspired by ALSF founder, Alex Scott’s positive outlook in times of uncertainty. We want to know how you are making lemonade out of lemons during this time - whether by learning new skills, getting creative, connecting with family or friends through video chat or doing something else that puts a sweet smile on your faces! Share your special moments with us on social media using the hashtag #MakeAlexsLemonade.
