Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation is a foundation that collects donations to help in the fight against childhood cancer. They use some of the donations for patient comfort and to help pay for travel expenses of patients and parents that need to travel for treatments. I was started by a little girl named Alexandra (Alex) Scott. During her own battle with cancer she held a lemonade stand to raise money to help children like her. Now the foundation continues in her stead and people all over hold lemonade stands and send in donations.
My daughter and I decided to hold a lemonade stand of our own to help out but as I checked out the website I found out that you could host a Virtual Lemonade Stand where you can set up a donation page that people can go and make a donation and since I am a YouTuber I decided to do that. Here is a link to my video that started the Virtual event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SatrFHnabhc&feature=youtu.be We are running the event from 8/25/13 - 12/31/13 but since videos and blogs are up indefinitely the donation page will be to so if you get this after the initial event date you can still go and donate. Here's the link to the donation page where you can go and make a donation: http://www.alexslemonade.org/mypage/115964

We also decided to go ahead and do the physical lemonade stand and send in the donations as well. I should be fun and I my daughter will enjoy the expirence.
If you can help out please go to the donation page and help in the fight against childhood cancer.
