Let us consider a true-life hero: Alexandra Scott, a.k.a. Alex, who battled pediatric cancer for almost all of her 8 years. Starting in her home state of Connecticut when she was 4 and continuing after she moved to Wynnewood with her family, she ran Alex's Lemonade Stand to raise money for research to help other children. By the time she died in 2004, she had raised $1 million and started a movement that continues, with more than $100 million raised.

How can you be a part of it? This weekend is the nationwide Alex's Lemonade Days. Look around for a place near you to raise a glass in Alex's memory, or go to the website to donate.
