He was a kindhearted young man who helped many people from a young age. He aspired to finish his college education and become a history professor at a local university educating young adults. While in treatment, he planned on opening this foundation to provide support, faith and assistance to all young adults who were encountered with cancer as an obstacle in their life. When Alex passed away, his family created this fund to honor his memory as a dedicated young man who made it a priority helping others on a regular basis. </span></h5> <h5><u><b><span style="color:#236fa1">Interested in Becoming a Sponsor?<br /></span></b></u><span style="color:#000000">All sponsors are welcomed!
