On this week's Crossroads Magazine, reporter Jason Calvi shares with us the inspiring story of Alexandra Scott. Alex, who was born in Connecticut, was diagnosed with childhood cancer during her first year on this earth. Wanting to make a difference in the lives of cancer patients like her, she turned to the best money making idea she could come up with: selling lemonade. That little Connecticut stand raised thousands of dollars for cancer research when Alex was just four years old. Before she died at the age of 8, Alex raised over $1 million! Now, Alex's Lemonade Stands are sweetening the country, with thousands of people setting up their own stands. The organization has raised more than $25 million for pediatric cancer research.
As the weather warms up, why not stop by an Alex's Lemonade Stand near you. Find a location here.
