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. I've decided to take on the Rocky Challenge this November 19th to the 20th and will run the Philly Half Marathon on Saturday, then lace up again the next day to run the Philly Marathon on Sunday. I know running 39.3 miles in one weekend sounds nuts, but the aches and pains I will endure are minimal compared to what these kids affected with cancer are facing everyday. It's the least I can do! Will you make a donation? As Alex's life showed, our small contributions can make a big impact.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Love,

Tammy
