It was a successful weekend for two young Winnipeg girls who used lemons and lemonade to help in the fight against cancer.
Erika,11 and Carly, 7, set up a lemonade stand at Sandy Hook RV Resort on Saturday, where they sold lemonade, cookies, bookmarks and crocheted lemons, with all funds going to support CancerCare Manitoba.
"It started when we had a family member named Jack, and he died from cancer, and we wanted to do something," said Erika. "So we started a little lemonade stand and went through CancerCare Manitoba, got stuff and did that for the past few years."
Carly says she is thankful to be a part of this lemonade stand each year.
"It's really fun to do it and it's nice to give people things and help them," Carly explained. "It feels good to give back."
Through pouring rain and sunshine, the sisters worked hard and in the end managed to raise $1,654.30, surpassing last year's goal.
Leading up to their sale at the RV park, the girls also held a special sale at the RBC Convention Centre, raising over $1,700.
