Alex's
Lemonade Stand: Alexandra
"Alex" Scott is the 8 year old founder of Alex's
Lemonade Stand For Pediatric Cancer Research. Two days before her first
birthday she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, an aggressive childhood
cancer. Since that time Alex has continually fought her cancer,
with doctors and researchers still trying to achieve a cure. At the age of
four, Alex decided to do something to make that cure more likely. She
opened her first lemonade stand in July of 2000 with the idea of donating
the proceeds to "her hospital." Each year since, Alex has held
an annual lemonade stand in her front yard. As word has spread, donations
have poured in from around the world, and she has raised over $200,000 for
pediatric cancer.
