The Carpenters Lemons to Lemonade- web

The Carpenters turn Lemons to Lemonade!

The Carpenter family hopes their efforts will raise awareness for Cure JM and bring hope to families like theirs.

The community went above and beyond in showing their support for the lemonade stand.

The 1000 cups with lids the Carpenters ordered quickly cleared out as more and more lemonade was sold!

Austin Krainz’s Story

Austin Krainz, diagnosed with juvenile dermatomyositis at the age of seven, overcame the challenges of a rare disease with the support of his family and pioneering treatment from Dr. Lauren Pachman. After more than a decade of battling the illness, Austin entered remission, fulfilling his childhood dream of professional racing in Porsche’s GT America series.
