Hi, I have been inspired by a little girl who’s name is Alex. At the age of 4, Alex proclaimed that she would like to help find the cure for childhood cancer. She had the idea to make a stand in their front yard and sell lemonade for 50 cents each. Expectations were not high when they set this task, but they made a surprising 2,000 dollars at the first stand!!! Sadly she past away on August 1st, 2001 at the age of 8, but before her remarkable life ended she set out with a goal to reach 1 million dollars. With the help of many people, by the end of 2004 her goal was reached. The foundation Alex’s Lemonade Stand still raises money for this cancer. Shockingly Childhood Cancer (also known as Pediatric Cancer) is the number one disease killer in children. This beats diseases like diabetes or asthma! In the United States alone every weekday, there is on average 46 teens and children diagnosed with this killer disease. We need to find a cure for these diseases as soon as possible! With your help you can contribute to this cause and save a life in the process! :)
