Stand Up To Cancer

One of our SU2C Teams has been working overtime this year! Alex's Flags, a team founded by friends of Alex Marcus, who is fighting cancer, managed to raise over $15,000 in just three days as a surprise for his 21st birthday by spreading the word throughout their circle of friends. What's even more incredible is that their original goal was $1,000, which they met and exceeded many times over before the big day.

"I was just very touched that my friends would do that for me, raising the money and all, and then there was also the added wow of $15,000 in less than a week," Alex told us. "It made me so happy. It was such an amazing birthday present."

We want to thank Alex's friends and family for their support and generosity, and for making SU2C a part of Alex's birthday. If you'd like to start a team of your own, you can do it here.

Here, courtesy of Alex's friends, is a video of the moment his team revealed their birthday present to him, with the team captain checking in from Scotland via Skype to share the amazing news.
