This year will be amazing, because not only will I get a chance to run the Chicago Marathon, but I have partnered up with one of the most highly regarded pediatric cancer charities in the world.  I'm joining with Team Lemon to help Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation move one step closer to finding a cure for all children with cancer!  As many of you  know, my niece recently lost her battle with pediatric brain cancer.  This has motivated me to do what I can to support research efforts to rid the world of this horrible disease.  Please help to fund the research needed to get rid of this disease forever.  You can support me by visiting my page, making a donation or joining me!  The money you donate will pay for research to find better treatments and cures for childhood cancer. Please help kids and their families by providing desperately needed hope! Thanks for your support!  

Alexandra "Alex" Scott, a young cancer patient, was only 4 years old when she decided to hold a lemonade stand to raise money for "her hospital," so doctors could help other kids like they'd helped her. Alex held her first stand in 2000 and continued to hold lemonade stands each year, inspiring support from her community and across the nation. Although sadly Alex passed away at the age of 8, she knew she had reached the ambitious goal of raising $1 million for childhood cancer research.  I am carrying on Alex's inspiring legacy by raising money to fight childhood cancer.
