Westminster teen's nonprofit helps children with chronic illnesses - The Advocate of Westminster and Finksburg: News

Westminster teen's nonprofit helps children with chronic illnesses - The Advocate of Westminster and Finksburg: News: Alexis and her family learned to cope with her condition, and Caroline said her daughter has been in good health with the help of treatments like insulin injections.

Almost immediately after her diagnosis Alexis vowed to help other children and teenagers. She began making handmade football barrettes and selling them all over the United States as a fundraiser for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

But Alexis, now 15, decided she wanted to expand the reach of her efforts, so in the fall of 2010 she founded Live, Hope, Laugh, the Alexis Ross Organization.
