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."
