DAVIE, Fla. – Two grassroots organizations are teaming up in the fight to improve treatments for childhood cancer.
“I Care I Cure,” co-founded by Davie resident Beth Besner and “Alex’s Lemonade Stand,” created by a family in Philadelphia, have joined forces to support new clinical trials and studies.
Both families started their foundations after losing a child to cancer.
“Their dedication, just like ours, is for less toxic cures and we’ve made huge progress. All the research we’re doing now is looking at better therapies, vaccine therapies, immunotherapies, targeted therapies — it’s really exciting,” said Liz Scott with the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.
“We have confounded with them so they continue to match our dollars, dollar for dollar, and they’re continuing to do that,” said Besner.
On Saturday, March 5, I Care I Cure will hold its 14th annual 5k run and festival fundraising evening.
