The Goodness of America
Record-breaker
Eight-year-old Lilly Bumpus survived a rare type of cancer as an infant and has since made it her mission to help other children struggling with cancer, the San Bernardino Sun reported.
Every year, Lilly and her family spend holidays creating personalized care packages for children fighting cancer across the country. Lilly and her family also created the nonprofit Team Lilly Foundation, which pays bills, provides meals, and even covers funeral expenses for children with cancer.
But Lilly’s latest endeavor is a generous donation to pediatric cancer research. A Brownie in the Girl Scouts, Lilly broke the record for most Girl Scout cookies sold in a single season — 32,484 to be exact — and has announced that most of the money she raised will go to fund childhood-cancer research and to a group that feeds the homeless on Skid Row in Los Angeles.
