This is a small post about the language we use maybe without thinking.
I often hear people describe their cancer as a fight or a battle. We lost a child to cancer. The problem with use of words such as fight and battle is that is seems to imply that those who die somehow didn't fight hard enough.

Every June, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation supporters hold lemonade stands & events to raise money & awareness of #ChildhoodCancer

This tradition began with 8-year-old Alex Scott.
Her goal: raising $1 million for “her doctors” to help kids like her fighting cancer.
Her belief & reaching her goal before she passed away in 2004 still inspires

Anyone, anywhere can hold a stand. Register your Lemonade Days stand/event & help make a difference https://www.alexslemonade.org/campaign/lemonade-days
