7-year-old cancer patient, Benjamin Burke of Glen Ellyn, Illinois, raised twenty thousand dollars through his lemonade stand and donated the entire amount to the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation to help other families that are battling cancer.

Benjamin was diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia last year.
