Wanna Pulverize Childhood Cancer?

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and you can help Lexi Divers, whose sister passed away in December, to stomp out childhood cancer. She wants to pulverize it! Lexi lost her best friend and as she puts it, “the best sister ever.”

Lexi’s team is “Live Alyssa Live” and you can join her team for the walk or you can donate to her through this link:

The walk takes place at The Park at UVA on Saturday, September 28th. It’s just 2 times around the field, 1/2 mile. Please join Lexi, Lynn and Jeff Divers as they honor their daughters memory and raise money to help save other children.
