WOW! Congratulations to all of you for TRULY AMAZING job raising money and awareness for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation these past two weeks!! Bravo!!!

And what an awesome celebration VC event to end our time together for the 2012 project! If you missed it (or if you want to share it with parents and administrators) you can watch the archived video of today's celebration videoconference at: http://video.magpi.net/videos/video/434/

I want to give a very special thanks to our student VJs at National Dali HIgh School who did such an incredible job VJing today!! You guys were fantastic!! Aslo many special thanks to Jenny, the student musician from Taiwan who performed the Chinese pipa so beautifully for a global viewing audience today as a special live tribute to our childhood cancer hero Cameron and to his and all the families worldwide whose lives are impacted directly by your fundraising efforts!!

And many special thanks to our childhood cancer hero Cameron (and his mom Jennifer and dad Chip, too!) for taking the time to come in and share his story with our schools!

Together you all raised over $13,000 to help fund critical research in pediatric cancer which will save lives of other children like Cameron who we heard from in our celebration VC, Lily who you heard from in our kick-off event and of course, Alex's whose beautiful message of hope lives on in each of you through your efforts in this project.
