I love watching the Nate Berkus Show!
Today he interviewed a young lady that has personally designed a fundraiser called "Cupcakes for Cancer." Her vision began with a desire to help a fellow 8th grader battle leukemia.
She rallied her friends and they began to bake and sell cupcakes after school and at local events. Selling each for $1, they raised $5000 in 6 weeks! Wow, that is fantastic :) She has subsequently raised over $65,000 for pediatric cancer research.
16 year old Blakely is a chemo survivor herself and has inspired communities all over the county to participate in "Cupcakes for Cancer." She is quite a remarkable young lady!
To find out more or to have a fundraiser in your community, check out Blakely's website.
