Alex's Lemonade Hero Family

Stanley's Dream was honored as a Hero family on Alex's Lemonade website in January 2009. The Hero family is a program that allows parents to honor their children by simply sharing their story and featuring them on the Alex's Lemonade website. These stories of courage serve to inspire and empower families, friends, and patients by putting a face on childhood cancer by showing the personal and tender side of every child, and the perspective of the parents or caretakers who love them.
