We are hosting a fun inflatable costume event for everyone to enjoy at Darden Towe Park Pavilion
💛 TWINS RUN 55 💛
🍋 An Inflatable FUNdraiser Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) 🍋
We’re silly. Childhood cancer isn’t.
We’re turning 55 the only way that makes sense to us — by running, wobbling and frolicking in inflatable costumes at Darden Towe Park.
Instead of a typical birthday party, we’re hosting TWINS RUN 55 Inflatable FUNdraiser to benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation because supporting childhood cancer research is something that matters deeply to me and Leah Connor.
We’ll have the pavilion for the day — so please stop by for a few minutes or stay for the whole event.

Leah and Malinda Ann are identical twins and marathon moms who deemed themselves "Twins Run In Our Family" so they could share their experiences running together while supporting causes they care about.
On March 17, 2012, Leah and Malinda Ann joined Team Lemon to remember Michael, Leah's brother-in-law, who died of relapsed childhood leukemia on March 17, 2003.
As of today, we have raised $9,109 for ALSF. We hope to reach our $10,000 goal by our 55th birthday on May 18, 2026 in memory of Keith, Leah’s brother-in-law, who died unexpectedly on February 23, 2026.
If you can, please consider donating $5. No donation is too small. Finding cures for childhood cancer, one mile and one dollar at a time!
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of 4-year-old Alexandra “Alex” Scott, who was fighting cancer and wanted to raise money to find cures for all children with cancer.
By the time Alex passed away at the age of 8, she had raised $1 million. Since then, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a worldwide fundraising movement and the largest independent childhood cancer charity in the U.S.
ALSF is a leader in funding pediatric research projects across the globe and providing programs to families affected by childhood cancer.
