My mom had cancer when I was a child. I knew her story and wanted to help make a difference for others fighting this terrible disease. An ability to do so arose in high school when I created my own fundraiser to help fight childhood cancer using the Alex's Lemonade platform. I gathered donations by having people pledge money per onside kick recovered by my football team in the 2021 football season. We would go on to recover 12 onside kicks in the season and raise over $11,000, making my fundraiser the largest in the US that year.
