Alexis says:

“Driven by the sadness in my heart of losing my grandfather

“Bobpa” from Acute Myeloid Leukemia, I have always searched for a meaningful way to turn our tragic loss into triumph by honoring his memory. Even though my ti

me with him was cut short, his impact on my life was one I will never forget. When my mom came to me and asked me if I’d like to take on this special campaign, I had no hesitation. My grandfather’s presence remains with me in every aspect of my life and this is finally how, I too, could honor him in the way in which he deserves.

Please help Team Crush to honor my grandfather’s memory and the countles individuals that have been affected by blood cancers by making a donation to my fundraising campaign.” ~Alexis
