ORLAND, Fla. (AP) - A central Florida third-grader whose mother died last month of breast cancer raised nearly $24,000 selling pink
lemonade for the cancer center that treated her mom.

Victoria Petrucelly hoped to raise $50 when she first started raising money for M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Orlando. Her mother,
Angela, died on Valentine's Day from an agressive form of breast care.

Petrucelly, friend Jesse Theobald and their third grade classmates sold more than 65 gallons of lemonade this weekend.
Several local companies also donated to the girls' lemonade stand.
