Lemon Face Challenge

On March 28, 2018, Aubreigh Nicholas turned 11 years old, but this birthday would be like no other. On this birthday, she was battling a terrible monster called DIPG, a terminal brain cancer that ultimately made this her last birthday. She had already been instrumental in bringing her whole community together to pray for her each day at 3:28pm, but she wanted more.

On March 28, 2018, in true Aubreigh style, she taught us that when life brings you lemons, you make LEMONADE! She created the Lemon Face Challenge bringing awareness across the globe to DIPG, a fatal pediatric brain tumor. She first challenged Nick Saban, Alabama Crimson Tide’s head football coach, which he obliged by performing the Lemon Face Challenge. This was followed by other coaches, including Clemson’s head coach, Dabo Sweeney. Across the globe the challenge continued including the LA Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks, Good Morning Britain, and morning shows in Korea.

​To date, the Lemon Face Challenge continues in Australia and many other places. All from a little girl with a big heart from Mobile, Alabama.
