Before Brandon Campbell died of colon cancer, he helped his young son build a lemonade stand so that 6-year-old Brady could raise some money to take his mother on a date and hopefully cheer her up.
Together, they built a lemonade stand so that Brady, 6, of Denver, Colorado, could raise some money to take his mother on a date and hopefully cheer her up.Brandon Campbell died on July 7 after battling stage 4 colon cancer. He was 37 years old.The next day, Brady opened up his lemonade stand for business. Friends and neighbors gathered to support him as well as first responders who'd been notified of the lemonade stand by a Denver police officer.
Firefighters from Denver's Tower 27 even showed up, letting Brady get behind the wheel of their fire truck to blast the sirens and even hitch a ride in their rescue bucket. By the end of the day, Brady had raised $244 — more than enough to take his mother, Amanda Campbell, on that date. "Brady's a very sweet soul," Amanda Campbell said."He's always looking out for everybody else. ... He really learned that from his dad. ... I know Brandon would be very, very proud.""It really lifted our spirits and made Brady, you know, so happy," she told KDVR-TV."We will use a small portion of the funds raised for Brady and Amanda to continue having adventures together.
As of Tuesday, the page had raised more than $38,000. And, planning for that mom-and-son date is currently in the works.
