This week I attended the annual meeting for Northwestern
Mutual which is where my wife works. On Sunday, about 2000 people participated
in a 5k/10k run to raise money for Alex’s Lemonade Stand. $85,000 had been
raised at last count. In case you don’t know about Alex, Alex was born in 1996
and suffered from childhood cancer. She opened a lemonade stand to raise money
to find a cure, and after raising $12,000 at her stand, you might say the idea
“caught on”. Her stand turned into over 20,0000 stands, with all of the money
going to finding a cure. At the time of her death in 2004, she had raised over
$1,000,000 and her legacy still continues today. To meet Alex by video, click
