Alex's Lemonade Stand

From the Krueger Family Carepage:

Our hearts are especially heavy this week and go out to the Whipple family here in Des Moines. They are members of our newly formed support group, ClubHOPE. Their daughter Ashlyn, 2, “earned her angel wings” Saturday. It obviously hits so close to home and this is our first child in the group that has lost their battle. This family not only has had this unbelievable fight, but her twin sister Addison has also been battling cancer and is now in remission thankfully. In honor of Ashlyn, we ask that you visit one of the 3 Alex’s Lemonade Stands that are being hosted by several of our ClubHOPE families this Saturday, August 9th from 10-3. They will all be located at HyVee stores: West Des Moines: 1700 Valley West Drive, Urbandale: 8601 Douglas Ave. Altoona: 100 8th St. SW. Alex’s Lemonade Stand is an organization that supports pediatric cancer research and was started by a little girl that had cancer, Alex, to raise pediatric research funds. It is an incredible story and although Alex lost her fight with cancer, this amazing organization lives on in her name. For more information visit: http://www.alexslemonade.org/ Please stop by for a refreshing glass of lemonade and meet many of our cancer survivors and their siblings…they will be doing the serving! We have also set up a website if you would like to donate, but cannot attend. www.firstgiving.com/alsfdesmoines . We will be at the West Des Moines location from 12-3 and Will cannot wait! He is so excited to have a “real lemonade stand!” This uninvited monster has crept into our lives and so many others as well. With your help we maintain the HOPE that there will someday be a cure to this awful disease. We will plan to see you there and if you cannot attend, please consider making a donation-even $10 can make a difference. Let’s get rid of this monster in honor of Ashlyn! Thank you.
