Lemonade Stand to Benefit CHOP, Thanks to Ambler Fourth-Grader

Aidan McKelvey is only in fourth grade, and he's already changing lives for the better.
He's a big brother to his six-year-old brother, who, like Aidan, has had his battles with food allergies.
Aidan is also a stellar student at Lower Gwynedd Elementary, where a recent lesson in citizenship resulted in a class project on being a good citizen.
Thus, Aidan is taking it to the streets Thursday afternoon, and turning something sour into something very sweet.
Aidan is running a lemonade stand fundraiser to benefit Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and its food allergy research programs.
"They really worked pretty independently on (the project)," said his mother, Vicky McKelvey. "They were, first, learning about citizens and being a good citizen, and then they had to do something to show they were being a good citizens in their community. He came home and he wanted to do a lemonade stand to raise money for CHOP. We decided the Food Allergy Department would be a perfect place to send the money."
McKelvey's stand opens for sales of pink and yellow lemonade at 3:30 p.m. Thursday at 28 Hendricks Street in Ambler. Vicky said the money will be sent to food allergy research physicians at CHOP on Monday, so there is still time to donate after Halloween.
"Aidan hopes to raise $50. I hope he surpasses that," she said. 
Vicky said CHOP physicians in the food allergy division are, at present, beginning a peanut desensitization study to help cure children of peanut allergies.
"We have been going to the CHOP allergy department for about 10 years now, and they do an amazing job," she said. "We are lucky to have them so close."
