A young cancer patient starts a movement

Four year old Alexandra “Alex” Scott was suffering from neuroblastoma (a pediatric cancer) when she has a simple idea - she was going to open a lemonade stand to help raise money to help other kids with cancer!

Her older brother Patrick helped her do this and in the four years that followed, she helped raise $1 million!

Alex died when she was eight - but though she no more, her spirit remains alive - upto date, the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation has raised over $10 million for childhood cancer research. Updates on the foundation’s work available at the Lemonade Blog.

Think for a minute: What is the extraordinary life of little Alex inspiring you to do right now?
