Alex was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma just before her first birthday. At the age of four, Alex decided to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to benefit childhold cancer research. Even though Alex was so sick, she was determined to raise $1,000,000 for childhood cancer research. By the time she was eight years old, she had reached her goal. Alex died shortly after in August of 2004 and since then, Alex's family continues to keep her legacy alive through Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.
