TAMPA, Fla. — Lucy Barnett and Lexi Frisby have been best friends for nearly a decade.
One of their favorite activities has always been putting on lemonade stands together.
When Lexi was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer last August, Lucy knew she wanted to help raise money.
Lexi went through radiation and then got dropped from a clinical trial when the cancer progressed to her spine.
Her best option now is a costly treatment in Germany that is not covered by insurance.
That’s when Lucy stepped up and put on a lemonade stand for her best friend.
Lucy has raised more than $2,600 so far.
A website has also been set up to make a tax-deductible donation if you’d like to support Lexi’s treatments.
