Buy some lemonade today

March 22, 2009 in Uncategorized

This little 8-year-old girl lost her mom to cancer last month. She is selling lemonade this weekend in Orlando hoping to raise $50 for cancer research.

I think we can help her far exceed that goal.

Can you donate $3 or $7 or $37 to help her honor the memory of her mom? This donation page will only be open until 7am (Eastern) on Monday, March 23rd. Please tell others in your network.

My thanks to Jennifer Dempsey for telling me about this. Jennifer is going to the lemonade stand and will send photos!

UPDATE: 37days readers donated $350.37 – my thanks to all those able to give!

Patti,

My mom is a 4-time cancer survivor (can you say “tough broad”!) so my heart goes out to this little girl and her family.

It’s not much but my $25 will help a little.

Thanks,

Drew (Andrew according to PayPal)
