Fundraiser Details
When
Thanks for visiting our team page. We are current members of a research lab that studies leukemia in Bethesda, alumni, friends, and family. This is our second year of participation in this event and we hope to be able to help ALSF get over the hump and reach their million mile goal.
ALSF provides critical funding to labs, including ours, that allow researchers to pursue projects that will have high impact in finding a cure for pediatric cancers.
Alexandra "Alex" Scott, a young cancer patient, was only 4 years old when she decided to hold a lemonade stand to raise money for "her hospital," so doctors could help other kids like they'd helped her. Alex held her first stand in 2000 and continued to hold lemonade stands each year, inspiring support from her community and across the nation. Although sadly Alex passed away at the age of 8, she knew she had reached the ambitious goal of raising $1 million for childhood cancer research.
I am carrying on Alex's inspiring legacy by raising money to fight childhood cancer. Will you make a donation? As Alex's life showed, our small contributions can make a big impact. Thank you!
