BRIGANTINE, New Jersey (WPVI) -- 17-year-old cancer survivor Lizzy Fluck served cups full of hope today to raise money for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.
Fluck, an avid runner and ballet dancer from Doylestown, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia when she was 10 years old.
After pushing through many physical and mental hardships, she was able to call herself a survivor starting last summer.
