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.

Alex's parents, Jay and Liz Scott, were high school classmates of mine, and do a wonderful job of keeping Alex's legacy alive by raising money and awareness for childhood cancer.  Will you make a donation? As Alex's life showed, our small contributions can make a big impact. No donation is too small, in fact if you could donate just $5 and have 5 friends donate $5 and have those 5 friends choose 5 friends to donate $5, etc. that would be fantastic!  Thank you!
