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 will be running my first marathon on November 5th in NYC, and want to raise 3,000 to help support this research. Small contributions can make a big difference.

Curious about how much money help what?

Your gift could lead to a crucial discovery or even a cure for childhood cancer…

• Your gift of $50 will fund one hour of research
• A gift of $400 will fund one day of research
• A gift of $2,000 will fund a week of research
• A generous gift of $8,000 will pay for an entire month of research

ALSF also has a Travel For Care Program that helps families with travel expenses as they travel far from their home for their child's treatments:

• $15 can provide a gas card to help a family drive to a hospital for treatment.
• $20 allows a family to park at the hospital where their child is receiving treatment.
• $100 enables a family to reside at a nearby hotel so they can stay close to their child receiving treatment.
• Any size helps ease a family’s financial burden so they can focus on their child’s treatment. 

If you donate $10, I will send you a photo of something beautiful I see while training.

 If you donate $75, you will get all of that, and more....
