Thank you for stopping by my fundraising page! I am running the Disney Princess Half Marathon in February. Instead of just running for fun, I thought I would run for a great cause! So, I have chosen Alex's Lemonade Stand! As you may or may not know, my son Kyle has battled cancer. He experienced the removal of pre-melanoma at the age of 5 and then survived testicular cancer at the age of 20. Now 23, he is a survivor! Thank goodness we caught both early! Regular screenings and open conversations are so very important. Alex's Lemonade Stand raises money specifically for childhood cancer research.
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, inspiring support from her community and across the nation. Although sadly Alex passed away at the age of 8, she knew she had reached the ambitious goal of raising $1 million for childhood cancer research.
I am carrying on Alex's inspiring legacy by raising money to fight childhood cancer. Will you make a donation? As Alex's life showed, our small contributions can make a big impact. Thank you!
