Love Like Lexi Foundation
Love Like Lexi is a non-profit organization established in loving memory of Lexi Lee Walker who spent the majority of her life battling stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma until her ascent to heaven on May 12, 2021 at the age of three. As her body was going through harsh treatments and trauma, Lexi's spirit never waned and she inspired us all with her love, strength and humor throughout. Lexi shared her love freely and changed the lives of everyone she met. Her triumph and legacy can be found in a new therapy that has the potential to bring breakthrough and save the lives of future kids in her shoes - she initiated a brand new treatment option and new research for relapsed neuroblastoma. We keep her memory alive and continue her legacy by fighting cancer with the power of love and choosing to love like Lexi today and every day.
The Love Like Lexi foundation supports the promising research of Child Oncologist, Dr. Shahab Asgharzadeh, a physician scientist and the principal investigator of the Asgharzadeh Laboratory at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Dr. A was so inspired by Lexi, he started researching alternate therapies to chemo for kids such as immunotherapy, which helps the body's natural immune cells recognize cancer as unauthorized and fight against it.
