A baby battling leukemia in Minnesota will be honored in Turlock on Saturday with “Sweet London’s Lemonade,” a lemonade stand and bake sale fundraiser that aims to raise $1,000 for cancer research.
The story of London Andersen, who was diagnosed last year with infant leukemia at just three months old, caught the attention of Turlock resident Christy Lopez as she was scrolling through Facebook one day.
“I was on Facebook and all of the sudden I see this picture of this very cute little girl, but she had a port on her face which I learned is how she receives her chemo,” said Lopez.
“The more I learned about London, the more amazing she became,” continued Lopez. “This little girl would receive her chemotherapy treatments and be smiling and playing with her toes afterwards. She’s incredible.”
After reading Andersen’s story, it did not take long for Lopez to end up on the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation website to research how she could help raise money towards finding a cure for childhood cancer.
