Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) shares the vision of their founder and creator Alexandra "Alex" Scott, a cure for all children with cancer. When Alex, who was diagnosed with childhood cancer just before her first birthday, was 4, she told her parents she wanted to set up a front yard lemonade stand. Her plan was to give the money to doctors to help them find a cure. Her first "Alex's Lemonade Stand," was held with the help of her older brother Patrick, and raised an astonishing $2,000 in one day. While bravely fighting her own cancer, Alex continued to set up lemonade stands every year. As news spread of the remarkable girl so dedicated to helping other sick children, people everywhere were inspired to start their own lemonade stands, donating the proceeds to her cause.In 2004 when Alex passed away, at the age of 8, her stand and inspiration had raised more than $1 million towards finding a cure for the disease that took her life. Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) was started by her parents in 2005 to continue the work that Alex began. Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) is changing the lives of children with cancer by funding impactful research, raising awareness, supporting families and empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer. You can donate online, at your local Applebee's or at other places online or in person. Everyone can help ALSF move one step closer to finding a cure for all children with cancer!For more info: alexslemonade.org/about-…
