\"\"<\/span>Courtesy Photo<\/a><\/span>One 6-year-old boy from Denver, CO, named Brady Campbell just won best son of the year. His father passed away a few weeks ago after a battle with stage IV colon cancer. His dad was the one who actually came up with the idea for a lemonade stand, but Brady carried through with it for the most incredible reason.<\/span>\u201cTo take my mom on a date,\u201d Brady says. \u201cBecause I didn\u2019t have enough money and I wanted to pay. So I did it.\u201d<\/span>The day right after his dad passed away, Brody followed through with his promise. He took his mom out on a date with the money he earned from his lemonade stand.<\/span>Even the police and fire department showed up<\/span>
\n<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Courtesy Photo<\/a><\/span>His mom, Amanda Campbell, was just overwhelmed with happiness when she learns about the idea. \u201cBrady is a very sweet soul,\u201d Amanda says. \u201cHe\u2019s always looking out for everybody else, and I think he really learned that from his dad.\u201d<\/span>Tons of Brady\u2019s neighbors and friends came by the lemonade stand<\/a>, which would then catch the attention of a Denver police officer. He was incredibly moved by Brady\u2019s idea and story, so he put out a radio call to other first responders. That\u2019s when firetrucks and police cars started piling in for lemonade!<\/span>
\n<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Courtesy Photo<\/a><\/span>Brady raised $244 and was able to take his mom on a date and lift her spirits after the tragic passing of his father. Additionally, a neighbor has set up a GoFundMe virtual lemonade stand to raise even more money for Brady! The money will ultimately go towards the family and towards cancer research.<\/span>\u201cIt really lifted our spirits, and it made Brady so happy,\u201d Amanda says. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty special, and I know Brandon [father] would be very, very proud.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Courtesy Photo<\/a><\/span>\u201cHe [Brady] just says, \u2018I\u2019m glad he [father] doesn\u2019t have cancer anymore. I\u2019m glad he doesn\u2019t have pain,’\u201d Amanda says about Brady. \u201cThat brings, I think, Brady a lot of peace and me peace.\u201d<\/span>Amanda says she hopes this story will bring awareness to colon cancer<\/a> and encourage people to get tested for it. Take a look at the video below for some additional footage from the day Brady had his lemonade stand going! It\u2019s so heartwarming to see everyone band together for a good cause.<\/span>Proper BCS greatergood_ctg_abovevideo<\/span><\/span>Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
