Price Chopper’s parking lot was host to Alex’s Lemonade Stand over the weekend.
The local chapter, run by Joe Muckenthaler and his son — whose name happens to be Alex — held the fundraiser for the fourth year in Emporia to raise money for children’s cancer research and other efforts.
“Only four percent of the national federal cancer budget goes to kids,” Joe Muckenthaler said. “The kids kind of get all the ‘hand-me-down’ drugs and research.”
Alex Muckenthaler was first diagnosed with Burkitt’s Lymphoma in 2011. After a seven-month fight, the lymphoma had been beaten.
