Thanks for visiting our team page.  We are current and former members of a research lab at the National Cancer Institute and friends and family and our main focus is to find treatments for the worst cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.  This is our third year of participation in this event and we hope to be able to help ALSF reach their million mile goal for the second year in a row.

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.

We are supporting the cause that Alex championed years ago to try to make a difference in treatment of childhood 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.

We are 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!
