Theresa Gigliotti was a mother to all who knew her. She would do anything for you and especially loved kids. Theresa was diagnosed with cancer in October 2001, she ended up having a stroke which left her left side paralyzed, a feeding tube and a trach. The doctors did not expect her to make it but she fought for a year and a half. Theresa passed away March 2003. In August of 2003 we held our first softball benefit with proceeds going to Susan G. Breast Cancer Foundation. Then I saw Alex on Oprah and I knew that's it, our next benefit all proceeds would go to Alex's Lemonade Stand, she reminded me of my mom but of a different age. My wife and I then wrote a letter to Jay & Liz and wanted to get invloved with Alex's cause and ever since then we consider the Scott's part of our family. So as we started to plan for our softball benefit for August of 2004 the week before our benefit thats when we heard the news of Alex's passing we knew that this benefit we would do it in memory of Theresa and Alex knowing now we have two angels looking upon us. Ever since we heard of Alex's dedication in finding a cure we knew we had to be part of it, we have held lemonade stands and benefits throughout the years and will continue in the fight against childhood cancer.
We hope you will help us in supporting a cause near and dear to our hearts. Please help spread the word. Support Alex's Lemonade Stand by making a donation online. Pass this on to all your friends and family. Thank you!
