Alexandra Scott

Alexandra Scott was a four year old girl who had cancer. She was very selfless and started to raise money for cancer research by doing a lemonade stand. She then died at the age of eight. After she died she had raised more than 25 million dollars towards cancer research. We think that Alexandra Scott was a big hero because she spent almost her whole life raising as much money as she can for cancer research. She was such a big hero even though she is only a little girl.

Alexandra Scott’s dream was to find a cure for children who had cancer and help them. When she was four years old she started a lemonade stand in her yard and as word got around about the lemonade stand, in that first year she raised about $2,000. People got so inspired by what she did that other people started lemonade stands for the same purpose.

This is what Alex's lemonade looks like. (http://www.alexslemonade.org/original)
