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.

This coming January 2018, I'm joining Team Lemon to help Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation move one step closer to finding a cure for all children with cancer! I will be running in my first 5k at Walt Disney World. My biggest motivation is having the feeling that I am helping someone or at least making a difference, no matter the size, which is why I have chosen to join Team Lemon.

With this run, I have set a fundraising goal of $600! You can support me by visiting my page! The money you donate will pay for research to find better treatments and cures for childhood cancer. Please help kids and their families by providing desperately needed hope! As Alex's life showed, our small contributions can make a big impact. Thank you!
