Bryant Defensive Lineman Darnel Shillingford is leading the FIGHT AGAINST CHILDHOOD CANCER on behalf of Northwestern Mutual & Alex's Lemonade Stand! Every day, over 1,000 children worldwide are diagnosed with childhood cancer. Yet, childhood cancer research is consistently underfunded as compared to other types of cancer research. It is up to all of us to fund research and find cures, so that someday these children are cured. Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) is changing the lives of children with cancer by funding impactful research, raising awareness, supporting families and empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer. Darnel is a difference maker on & off the field and there is nobody better to represent the brand and push for change!CONTENT:
