The Lemonade Gang began approximately nine years ago. A friend and I wanted to do something to help our dear friend, Brian Kelley, in his heroic fight against adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). ALD is a rare (affecting 1: 75,000 boys) disease that affects the fatty coating on our nerves, leaving patients with impaired or no vision, impaired or no speech, impaired or no motor function, seizures, and swallowing difficulties.
