Max's Lemonade Stand

Last night we attended a fundraising evening called "A Night to Remember 2" to raise money for breast cancer research.

My daugther's best friend Max started raising money after he lost his aunt to cancer. He was 5 when he started and is now a freshman in high school. So far he has raised over $85,000 and he plans on going until he reaches one of two goals. $1,000,000 or a cure.

Check out this media coverage from last year. 

The event last night included dinner, casino tables, a silent auction, a live auction, raflles, door prizes, and a DJ. Lots of great gifts were auctioned off and it sounded like a lot of money was raised which is so awesome. 

Ever since my sister's diagnosis last year I have switched my focus on cancer instead of diabetes. I want to get her through all this and done with chemo, then I can worry about raising money for diabetes. 

She will be cancer free when all this is done. My diabetes isn't going anywhere any time soon so I'll wait to refocus on diabetes.

Max and his family really inspired me. This young man was just 5 years old when he started this and for 10 years they have been raising money and awareness. I am so impressed by his dedication and hard work. His love for his Aunt is what started this and his family support keeps it going. 

Be sure and check out his site. There are other great videos including one from his first year after started the stand. It is so sweet.
