When Life Gives You Lemons …

Make them into lemonade. Four-year-old cancer patient Alex Scott took this message to heart, and decided to have a lemonade stand to raise money to help raise money for a cure for pediatric cancer. What started in this brave little girl’s front yard became a national cause, as lemonade stands popped up across the country to join the fight for children everywhere.

Alex Scott lost her battle with cancer two years ago this month; at the time of her death, she had raised close to a $1 million. But her legacy lives on and this coming Saturday, it will visit Urbana. A group of C-U kids will be hosting a lemonade stand at the Market on the Square, from 7 a.m. to noon. Be sure to visit their booth, and raise your glass to Alex Scott and all the other boys, girls and families touched by childhood cancer.
