Curing Childhood Cancer: GiveForward’s Cause of the Quarter
posted on 03/19/2010 by Erica TrzeciakTweet
We are proud to announce our new ‘Cause of the Quarter’ is dedicated to fighting childhood cancer. As the leading cause of death by disease in those under the age of 15, Pediatric Cancer is an area of medical research that needs to work harder than most to find cures.
The recipient for our Cause of the Quarter is Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Not only was this amazing organization started by someone diagnosed with cancer, it was started by a 4 year old diagnosed with neuroblastoma who went on to raise $2,000 at one lemonade stand in her own front yard. Kind of makes you wonder what you were doing at 4 years old, because I know I wasn’t inspiring a life changing and insanely influential organization that is dedicated to curing childhood cancer. I was making mud pies. Hopefully Alex Scott’s story motivates us all to put this cause on our radar and to give back to a cause that is truly deserving.
We are so proud to support them for all the other resources they provide to cancer patients, their families, and everyone in the community who has been touched by childhood cancer. From assisting with travel and l
odging expenses while receiving treatments, to providing the support and information that families need in order to cope within a community who cares. And mark your calendars for Lemonade Days, in honor of the first weekend Alex Scott created her very first lemonade stand. To read more about ALSF, head on our to our Cause of the Quarter page. So here’s to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation: Fighting Childhood Cancer, One Cup at a Time. We raise our plastic cups to you!

Great story. I am very impressed and congratulations. We have to do everything we can to fight cancer. On our side we are trying to break the world record of paddleboard on the lake Leman in Switzerland to help funding the leagues against cancer of Geneva and canton Vaud. Let ‘s meet June 12th inGeneva. Spread the word. And check the site: http://www.kmld.ch. Alain
