Patch freelancer Trish Adkins' family has set a lofty goal for its June 9 lemonade stand. Help them meet it!
Dear Editor:
Thank you so much for your support of Lily's Lemonade Stand last year! We were recognized as one of the Top 100 Lemonade Stands by Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation! It is a wonderful honor—and it is because of your generosity and love.Â
This year is a very special year for our family, as Lily hits the 5-year anniversary of both her diagnosis with an ependymoma brain tumor and her end of cancer-treatment. Lily has been cancer-free since August 2007. Your love and support has helped Lily survive and thrive!Â
