Today we remember our founder Alex Scott. She lives on 20 years later, in the hope she left for other children with cancer and in the mission of the Foundation she started. Our Foundation isn’t just a tribute to Alex; it is a continuation of everything she fought and worked for her entire life. 

We are so very grateful that Alex didn’t give up on her dreams because she created a movement that allows us to all work together to cure kids with cancer, a movement that has helped other kids have the chance to live out their dreams. 

Thank you for being part of her legacy. 

So many times we have heard people say that Alex lost her battle with cancer. We believe that this could not be farther from the truth. Alex won her battle in so many ways … by facing her cancer everyday but still managing to be a kid; by not letting cancer take away her plans and dreams, by making the most of every day; and of course by leaving an incredible legacy of hope for a cure for other kids. She was a hero for sure, but she was also just a little girl. A little girl that we love and miss every day.
