It’s a fight Jimmy Kimmel<\/a><\/strong> and millions of Americans can’t help but support.<\/p>\n

As Childhood Cancer Awareness Month continues, the Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em> host joined dozens of celebrities at the 10th Annual L.A. Loves Alex’s Lemonade event.<\/p>\n

Before enjoying the annual cookout with culinary stars, Jimmy was able to chat with E! News where he reiterated why the cause is so important to his family.<\/p>\n

“Alex’s Lemonade fund research, they help families, they do so many important things,” he shared with us exclusively. “They’ve saved a lot of lives and saved people from the worst nightmare that anyone could imagine. I just love doing this. It’s my favorite charity event of the year.”<\/p>\n

Back in May 2017, Jimmy announced<\/a> that his wife Molly McNearney<\/strong> welcomed a baby boy named William John Kimmel into the world.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Viewers later learned that the couple’s son was born<\/a> with a heart disease that required open heart surgery at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Fast-forward to today and their son, whose nickname is Billy, is doing a-okay.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Billy is doing great. He’s really a fun, normal little kid. He’s very into Spiderman. He calls Spiderman fighter man, which might be a new hero,” Jimmy joked. “But he runs around in a little Spiderman costume and its got muscles on it and it’s weird because it looks like a tiny little adult has invaded our home.”<\/p>\n

This weekend’s event, which raised more than $1.2 million for childhood cancer research, also featured celebrity support from Nolan Gould<\/strong>, Timothy Olyphant<\/strong> and Laura Dern<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Many in attendance couldn’t help but address how important the cause is for the world.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“It’s really important to me because the thing I say a lot is cancer doesn’t discriminate. It isn’t about social class or how much you get paid, your age, your race, your gender,” Laura’s daughter Jaya Harper<\/strong> explained. “We still need more funding worldwide and nationwide. It’s something we can never stop working for until its achieved.”<\/p>\n
