hope.

on june 12th at the children's hospital of philadelphia, one of my very best friends, kathy, did something very special. she was asked to make a speech honoring an extremley amazing and determined woman and doctor...Dr. Audrey E. Evans. she was receiving the pitcher of hope award from alex's lemonade stand.

when kathy was 18 months old, she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. which was the same form of cancer that alex scott (alex's lemonade stand) had been diagnosed with. this disease happened to be dr. evans' specialty. after many treatments, kathy miraculously beat many, many odds and was cancer free.

dr. evans asked kathy to speak about her an amazing story, giving hope to many other families in the same situation.

kath, i am so proud of you.
