Alex’s Lemonade Stand featured Alyssa as one of its “Childhood Cancer Heroes” as it kicked off Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Childhood Cancer Awareness Month brings attention to the issues of pediatric cancer each September by urging people to wear gold, lobby elected officials for research funding, and provide support to childhood cancer research charities.
Alyssa was selected to serve as the Hero representing children battling medulloblastoma, the type of brain cancer Alyssa has.
