Ainsley McDermott is only seven years old but she is teaching Alexandria about sharing and caring one glass of lemonade at a time.

Ainsley and her 11-year-old brother Harry have always liked having a lemonade stand in their front yard and earning a little bit of money to buy ice cream or some other treat. This summer Ainsley is using her lemonade stand to help her mom raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Foundation.

Kimberly McDermott explained. “This fall I am participating in a Light the Night Walk for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Ainsley has been doing her part to help me raise money.

“She’s been asking for months when we could do a lemonade stand. That typically results in me putting out $40, sitting in the sun all day and raising about $15 for the kids to spend on ice cream. After telling them about Alex’s Lemonade Stand we agreed it would be more fun to combine our efforts and hold lemonade stands for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
