This week marks six years since the founder of Alexâs Lemonade Stand, Alexandra Scott, passed away after a seven-year battle with cancer. She was eight years old. Born on January 18, 1996, Alex was diagnosed with neuroblastoma two days before her first birthday. At the age of four, Alex and her brother Patrick decided they wanted to set up a lemonade stand and use the money to help doctors find a cure. Their first lemonade stand was held on their front lawn in the year 2000, raising over $2,000. For the next four years, despite her deteriorating health, Alex held an annual lemonade stand to raise money for childhood cancer research. By the time she passed away, on August 1, 2004, Alex had raised over one million dollars.
