Alexandra Scott, born in Connecticut was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer, before she turned 1. Just after turning 4 years old, she started a lemonade stand to raise money for doctors to "help other kids, like they helped me." Her first lemonade stand raised $2,000 and led to the creation of the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Alex continued her lemonade stands till she passed away at the age of 8, raising over $1 million toward cancer research. Today, Alex’s Lemonade Stand sponsors a national fundraising weekend every June called Lemonade Days. Each year, over 10,000 volunteers at over 2,000 Alex’s Lemonade Stands make a difference for children with cancer.
