As Steve and I look forward to our wedding, we ask that you might consider giving to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation in lieu of a gift.  We chose ALSF because of one very special bridesmaid and my Goddaughter Edie.  Edie was just 6 months old when she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. After many surgeries and rounds of treatment, Edie had the opportunity to participate in a research study at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

At the age of 9, Edie is a precious, fun loving, cowboy boot wearing, outgoing bright-eyed child. Through the help of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, Edie and her family were able to receive emotional and financial support to aid with their treatment. Edie has become one of ALSF's Heroes and now raises money for other children fighting cancer. Because ALSF was able to assist in getting funding for Edie's treatment and it has worked, we are hopeful that the same treatment will work for other children. I ask for your support as we raise money for ALSF in hopes that other families will be able to receive the support and treatments that my friends have. Every child deserves to grow up without worrying about when to take the next dose of medicine or when they will have to go back to the hospital.  

Thank you!
