HERE is how McKenzie got started in her fundraising efforts!
The story behind it all!
When McKenzie was 4 years old I came home from a business trip in Las Vegas with a colorful butterfly pin. Attached to the pin was a letter from Volvo with the story of Alex and her amazing Lemonade Stands. Alex was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma when she was a year old. When she was just 4 years old she told her parents she wanted to have a lemonade stand and send the money to doctors to help find a cure. Alex passed away in 2004 at the age of 8 after raising over a million dollars by selling lemonade. Her spirit and drive to find a cure are continued on through her foundation, alexslemonade.org.
After hearing Alex's story, at the age of 4 McKenzie said she wanted to have a lemonade stand too! This is McKenzie's 10th year holding an Alex's Lemonade Stand.
