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 while . Although sadly Alex passed away at the age of 8, she reached the ambitious goal of raising $1 million for childhood cancer research. The Alex Million Mile Walk.Run.Ride is an annual event hosted by the organization that has grown out of Alex's aspirations to continue to support childhood cancer research.

Our laboratory focuses on developing new targeted therapeutic strategies to reduce drug resistance and improve survival for children with brain tumors.  Every dollar you donate will be doubled by Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation and donated to our lab to support our efforts to find new treatments for these deadly childhood brain tumors.  Thank you for joining us to Walk.Ride.Run and raise money to continue to support Alex's efforts to help children suffering from cancer!
