After hearing about the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation in Pennsylvania, Eden Prairie resident Chloe Russo knew she wanted to help.
Alex Scott ran her first lemonade stand in 2000 after she had a stem cell transplant due to neuroblastoma. Scott wanted to raise money for children’s cancer research. She passed away in 2004.
“My mom told me about Alex’s lemonade stand, and I read about her and saw her video about her lemonade stand to raise money for kids with cancer and I thought, ‘Why don’t I help her raise money for cancer because I think it’s very sad that kids have cancer,’ Russo said.
Now 10 years old, Russo operated her first lemonade stand when she was 6. And she didn’t stop at lemonade.
