=Introduction of Liz Scott (1:07)=


 * Lisa **: Alex sure was a terrific little girl! Liz Scott, Alex’s mom, was amazed when Alex wanted to host a lemonade stand and donate the money raised to her doctors. She was even more amazed when she continued to have stands and raise money no matter what the weather or how Alex was feeling.**
 * **Michael**:Alex’s parents now run the Foundation that Alex’s front yard lemonade stand started almost 7 years ago. They continue to raise money and awareness all over North America to help find a cure for pediatric cancer.
 * Lisa **: Last year they raised over 6 million dollars to benefit childhood cancer research.**
 * **Michael** : Since Alex Scott’s first front-yard stand, over 18 million dollars has been raised to battle this disease.
