Yeah! Today is March 17th...St. Patrick's Day! We are ready for our Alex's Lemonade Stand!

Well, today is St. Patrick's Day...the day we host our Alex's green Lemonade Stand, we are so pumped about it! The weather is going to be perfect, thank you Lord! and...Power FM is going to come out and spend a couple of hours with us from noon to 2:00 PM, thank you Lord again!!! Yeah! With their help, I am praying that we can raise a lot of money today for Pediatric Cancer Research!

If you have not read little Alex's story, please read it in my last Blog! What an awesome little girl! If any of us ever doubt that one person can change the world, just look at what this precious 4 year old decided to do when she was in the hospital fighting her own battle with cancer. Alex's Lemonade Stand to date has raised over 25 million to fight this deadly decease! Alex was only with us for 8 short years, yet her memory lives on in the heart that she had for other children and families that were fighting the same battle she and her family were.

Remember, we will be at the Lowe's in Hurst from 10:30 this morning to 7:00 pm tonight!

That's 770 Grapevine Hwy... please come by and buy a glass of Lemonade, and even if you can't come out, you can go to alexslemonade.org and click on the calender, then click on The Mission Reality Stand, and make a donation of any amount! Please don't think that you have to make a huge donation. If tons of people would get on and donate just $5.00 each...wow, just think how much we could raise today!

If you are close, please come by and see us today! The Mission Reality Team would to meet you!
Blessings

Alex's story is amazing!

Shortly before her first birthday, Alex was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer. On her first birthday, the doctors informed Alex's parents that if she beat her cancer it was doubtful that she would ever walk again. Just two weeks later, Alex slightly moved her leg at her parents' request to kick, the first indication of who she would turn out to be-a determined, courageous, confident and inspiring child with big dreams and big accomplishments.
By her second birthday, Alex was crawling and able to stand up with leg braces. She worked hard to gain strength and to learn how to walk. She appeared to be beating the odds, until the shattering discovery within the next year that her tumors had started growing again. In the year 2000, the day after her fourth birthday, Alex received a stem cell transplant and informed her mother, "When I get out of the hospital I want to have a lemonade stand." She said she wanted to give the money to the doctors to help them find a cure. True to her word, she held her first lemonade stand later that year and raised an amazing $2000 for "her hospital."
While bravely battling her own cancer, Alex continued to hold yearly lemonade stands in her front yard to benefit childhood cancer research. News spread of the remarkable sick child dedicated to helping other sick children. People from all over the world, moved by her story, held their own lemonade stands and donated the proceeds to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.
In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of 8, knowing that, with the help of others, she had raised over $1 million to help find a cure for the disease that took her life. Alex's family-including brothers Patrick, Eddie, and Joey and supporters are committed to continuing her inspiring legacy through Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.

What an incredible child! I love her and I pray that we have a great turnout! If you can't host a stand, please come out and buy some of our Lemonade! We would love to meet you! Check out Alex's website at alexslemonade.org

Blessings!
