This week’s featured childhood cancer hero is Sawyer Knoblock! Sawyer is a young man with a big personality who always shows so much love for others. When he was diagnosed with germinoma, treatment had to be tailored specifically to him since he also has Down syndrome. Luckily, it worked and today Sawyer has no evidence of disease! #childhoodcancerawareness

ALSF funded researcher, Dr. Alex Huang, leads the Million Mile Team “Run, Alex! Run!" This year, the team held a lemonade tasting fundraiser at UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s featuring eight hospital pediatric department teams competing for best lemonade and best decorations. For a $5 donation, guests received a fresh donut and eight lemonade samples. The toasted marshmallow lemonade was a highlight 🔥 And who doesn’t love a golden retriever in an Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation bandana?! Over $1100 was raised at the lemonade tasting fundraiser, helping bring the team's total to over $5,000 for The Million Mile 2026 💛

🎗️ For some kids facing brain tumors, sarcomas, neuroblastoma or other solid cell tumors, proton radiation can be a lifesaving treatment. Unfortunately, there are only about 100 proton centers in the world, and the U.S. is the only country in North America with proton radiation therapy available. Over 70% of the population lives more than 100 miles from the medical centers offering some of the most critical cancer treatments like proton radiation, leaving it out of reach for too many kids. 💛 We believe facts like these can change. Why? Because we've seen what your donations can do. We've seen safer treatments emerge. We've seen kids saved who wouldn't have had any options a decade ago. We know a brighter future for all kids with cancer is possible, because your support brings them hope.

This week's featured childhood cancer hero is Destiny Anderson! Destiny had one of the biggest hearts of anyone. Despite everything she'd been through, she was always resilient, brave, and determined in the face of her rare and aggressive brain cancer. Her family was grateful for assistance from ALSF's Travel For Care program that got Destiny to her specialized care and helped their family feel less alone. Sadly Destiny passed away, but her family finds solace that she passed on her 16th birthday, September 16th, 2026. #childhoodcancerawareness

Alex’s story has a way of coming full circle. 🍋💛 Ashley McClain was an elementary school counselor at Penn Wynne, where she once helped with our annual event: Alex’s "Original" Lemonade Stand. Now as a mom herself, she wanted to share Alex’s story with her own children and show them the importance of giving back. For her daughter’s 5th birthday, Ashley and her family turned the celebration into a fundraiser for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. They surpassed their goal raising around $700 to help fund the fight against childhood cancer!

Lizzy was diagnosed with leukemia when she was 10 years old. Before cancer, her life was filled with ballet, school, and playing with her little sister Georgia. After her diagnosis, her classroom and ballet studio were replaced with oncology rooms and clinic visits. Her teachers were replaced with doctors, and her dance partner became an IV pole she named Baryshnikov. Childhood became something that Lizzy had to hold onto.

Alex dreamed big. 🍋💛 When she was just 4 years old, Alex held her first childhood cancer fundraiser in her front yard and raised more than $2,000 to help other sick kids like her. By the time of her death in 2004, Alex raised $1 million and inspired a legacy of hope and cures for childhood cancer. Her movement continues through events like L.A. Loves Alex’s Lemonade, bringing together incredible chefs, food lovers and supporters for an unforgettable afternoon of food, drinks and philanthropy, all to benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and the fight against childhood cancer. On October 17, we can’t wait to see our supporters in Los Angeles as we come together to celebrate Alex’s legacy. See you at L.A. Loves Alex’s Lemonade! ❤️ LALAL.org
