When I was 10，my friend Sydney suffered from a brain cancer.Sydney fought against it，but the cancer did not respond to the treatment，and could not be removed.Sydney died at the age of 11.
After her death，I felt sad and discouraged.I decided to turn these negative emotions into positive actions.When I was 15 years old，I founded the Pink Polka Dots Guild（PPD）with two friends.My goal is to raise enough money to find a cure for brain cancer，which is the second most common cancer in children.
Over the years，PPD had held fundraisers（募捐活動）across the city.The first Pink Polka Dots Guild event，a garage sale，just raised ﹩900，but our latest fundraiser，the 2012 golf tournament，brought in over ﹩73，000.In the past five years，we have raised almost a million dollars to help do a research on removing brain cancer.
I've been shocked by the public recognition that PPD has earned.It received an award from President.This great honour raised awareness and money for our cause.
The efforts that we have made has truly helped cancer research.PPD has provided start-up funding for scientific discoveries，such as "Tumor Paint"，which illuminates（照射）cancerous cells so that doctors can remove them with amazing accuracy.The discovery appeared in Time Magazine.I was very proud to have helped fund the research of this life-saving technology.
Pink Polka Dots has inspired me to be an activist.My experience has taught me that with devotion，it is possible to make a difference in the world.The determination that Pink Polka Dots set off in me has carried over to all aspects of my life，making me a competitive speaker and a devoted volunteer.
