Default Alex's Family Wishes

I talked with Alex's father today, and he thanks you all for the kind words and offers to donate on Alex's behalf. While a memorial plaque for Alex is something they have considered and may do in the future, for now they ask that you instead make a donation to help other kids with cancer. Apparently, while there are lots of donations made each year to fight cancer, pediatric oncology (kid's cancer) is something that isn't well funded. If you are interested in making a donation on behalf of Alex and his family, please go to the following link.

Be sure to click "help kids with cancer" in the drop-down menu. Again, they want everyone to know how thankful they are for everything that was done for Alex while he was alive. I want to thank you all too. You certainly lived up to my expectations. Please remember to continue that spirit in your own communities, for other deserving people...

Thanks Mike. The link was very easy to use and make a donation. I agree - a memorial sign is one thing, but giving money that actually helps some other kid and their family, that is the way to go.

Thanks again. See you next time I am in Denver!

I would put in a plug for the Jimmy Fund, also. I ignore that it's the official charity of the Red Sox. I've made a gift in Alex's memory there today as well.
