this is so sad! she worked so hard to raise money to help others who have cancer to have a better life. the saddest part is that it wasn't enough to help her battle with cancer.

When I was her age,I was watching Sesame street. I used to play and was oblivious to the world's problems. This little girl though,spent her entire,short life trying to help save other lives. She is truly a hero.

Sophia from Planet Earth, December 12, 2012

I reread this story every so often, and each time,I cry. It just tugs at your heart in a certain way, and to see the generousity in this child, it moves me like no other. Just seeing the photo and her smile, I cannot help it...

Eric from Los Angeles, April 16, 2012

This has been a truly insprational story. I' m gonna start my own lemonade stand too, and I'll donate all the money I make to jonson memorial hospital.

Fly high Alex, you're a true inspiration!!

Katie from Hollywood, April 26, 2011

Alexandra Scott was truly a lifesaver for some people who have been diagnosed with this aggressive cancer or any cancer at that. She saved some lives while trying to save her own. Alex is a kind person to help other people like that. Why aren't there people who help with cancer or any other cause? This is because people are not dedicated like Alex Scott! Alex, you will be in my heart for what you did to help children! Thank-you. (:

Jordan Caldwell (: from Adrian, Michigan , April 12, 2011

In 2005 there was a 3 year old race horse named Afleet Alex, named after his sire Northern Afleet and the owners' own child Alex. Afleet Alex was entered in the Kentucky Derby that year and the owners pledged part of the horse's earnings to Alex's Lemonade Stand as a tribute to that "other Alex". An actual lemonade stand was also setup at the Churchill Downs race track to raise money for the cause. Afleet Alex ran a close third in the race (still worth good money). Afleet Alex went on to win both of the other Triple Crown races that year (the Preakness and Belmont Stakes). Alex's Lemonade Stands were run at both of those races as well. All in tribute to this amazing girl and for the good of her cause!

Rick from Farmington Hills, MI, February 10, 2011

carly l from south carolina, October 7, 2010

I think she is very brave to do that.

Jasmine R. from California, September 30, 2010

I agree with everyone else that it was an inspiring story and it made me want to do something about it too. The parents of Alex should be very proud. :)

Victoria from Ralinoski, March 9, 2010

The value is INSPIRATION, the person used to represent this is Alexandra Scott. This person is a perfect example of inspiration because this little girl was diagnosed with neuroblastoma two days before her first birthday. She was four when she was inspired to raise money to help "her hospital." She donated $2,000 she got for a lemonade stand in July of 2000. When she moved, she continued to raise money with a lemonade stand, and raised $20,000 in honor of her friend who had lost her battle with neuroblastoma. In 2004, this amazing little girl set a goal to raise 1 million dollars. From the help of family, friends, and strangers throughout all 50 states, this little girl met her goal. She passed away on August 1, 2004. before she died, she set a goal to raise 5 million dollars for pediatric cancer research in 2005.

Alex H. from Canyon Country, CA, February 8, 2010

Very inspiring.

Vero from Ventura, CA, January 21, 2010

Abby d from New York, October 8, 2009

Wow. That's very hard to raise 1 million dollars from a lemonade stand? And then she died. How tragic.

Collin S. from Adrian, MI, September 21, 2009

That's cool that she's raising money for her and other peoples cancer.

Brooke V. from Yorktown , September 17, 2009

Alex really inspired me because what she did to help others that has cancer. I have an uncle and cousin who has cancer and my other cousin died from cancer....

Nicole C. from Bakersfield,CA, May 21, 2009

Your daughter is a true inspiration. She has shown me that no matter what age you are if you believe in something and you are dedicated to it you should always fight for it. I am so glad I read her story it has inspired me to stand up for what I believe in. Thank you for putting your child's story up on these billboards.

Tayanna aka Jenna Seals from California, May 21, 2009

In our life, there is only one thing that could make us move on - inspiration. You may be inspired by love, friendship, or even interest. Inspiration is one of the most elements in our life. Inspiration is our hope. Inspiration is the key to succeeded.

Qirong L. from Missouri, May 12, 2009

That is just amazing!

Ruc P. from SCOTLAND, March 24, 2009

I cry for the loss of this beautiful little girl every time I see this billboard or read her story. I have her book and read it to my little girls. Every time, I have the same reaction. She has set an amazing example of will and determination. It is also a reminder to all that if Alex can accomplish so much in such a short lifetime, there are no excuses. We must use our time and resources wisely. Her inspiration and spirit lives on.

JV from Quakertown, PA, November 21, 2008

You should never give up a dream no matter what disibility you have. You have to keep on going with persistence and confidence.

Allie D. from Voorhees, NJ, October 20, 2008

This is such a touching reminder of how giving a little- the cost of a bottle of lemonade- really does make a difference. Don't be paralyzed by the idea that you don't have enough to give. I work in Philadelphia schools and used to live in Harlem. Last year, the school in which I worked in Philly- where 80% of the children live at or below the poverty line- raised over $2000 in one month for Alex's lemonade selling cookies from shop-rite. In Harlem, the children bring pennies to school for a fundraiser- the different schools come together and they get up on stage and weigh their pennies (instead of counting them). The pride on these children's faces- again, many of whom live in poverty- well, oftentimes it is those who know need who are most willing to give. As an adult, I think that the joy you get from giving runs laps around that you get from getting.

Leah L. from Philadelphia, PA, May 28, 2008

I thought Alex's lemonade stand was a great story. I'm happy she was able to raise that much money but sad she did't make it.

Nathaniel N. from Holtwood, PA, May 22, 2008

People that have challenges aren't different from us. Have challenges could be having to wear glasses, use a wheel chair, having an illness and so many more. We have to look past challenges and only by what we are inside.

Savannah S. from Pequea, PA, May 21, 2008

This site made me realize that people with problems are the same as anyone else.

Mickayla B. from Holtwood P.A, May 10, 2008

Truly a girl who, when life gave her lemons, made lemonade.

Robert R. from Los Angeles, CA, May 9, 2008

Wow! This story has a true inspiration to it. I think I will get some of my friends to start up a lemonade stand to make Alex's dream continue with the faith that she had, which can carry us far with her goal that she had worked so hard for. This girl should be a hero in some shape or form for us all. This story brought tears to my eyes, and I will read more, I thought this would be weird I am only on here for a school project but I will definitely visit again because of one girls doing.

Christine R., May 6, 2008

She's sooo cute I wish she was my little sister. She's a great girl with an inspiration to light up the sky! I hope one day to have children of my very own to shine like her! She reminds me of back in the day when I was a little girl I would always have lemonade stands but of course I was soo greedy and kept all the money. Oh how I do wish I had donated that money to good causes.

Tabitha Flugenot from Canada, April 10, 2008

It's amazing that a four-year old can have such a big idea and such a big heart. Most adults would never even try something like that.

Angel A from Pennsylvania, March 29, 2008

I think she is a very inspirational person.

Oklahoma, USA, February 19, 2008

This girl is an amazing inspiration to us all. She was so young, yet she accomplished more than many of us ever could. This girl gives me hope for a cure.

Kristene S. from New York, USA, September 18, 2007

This girl has it all. Strength, determination, and heart.

Lauren C. from New York, USA, September 17, 2007

Alexandra Scott is the perfect example of how little kids often have a more pure insight into the world and what needs to be done to fix it then adults. She saw a problem, and didn't think about how hard it would be, or what people would think. She just started raising money to help herself, but much more importantly others. She is the most selfless little girl I've ever heard of. A wonderful soul left the world the day she died, and everyone affected by cancer thanks her dearly.

Day W. from Kansas, USA, September 14, 2007

I ran across this site by accident but am very glad that I did! This billboard and backstory is very inspirational. It seems to me that "Alex" knew what was the right thing to do, while so many others just talk the talk. I am sure her parents were very proud of her. Alex, I dont think I will ever forget your story!

Roma C. from Grand Island, Nebraska USA, August 14, 2007

Alex, yours is a life that has meaning and PURPOSE.

DavTaiwo J. from Lagos, Nigeria, August 13, 2007

This is the best billboard ever. R.I.P. Alex

Leonel M. from San Francisco, July 9, 2007

Alex is an inspiration to adults because it reminds us that we should rekindle our selfless, childhood passions for making this a better world. THANK YOU, ALEX!

Chris D from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, June 24, 2007

Anonymous, March 5, 2007

I don't normally make comments on websites or really on anything for that matter. But I was curious about this billboard after seeing on the side of the freeway. So, I came to this website and read the backstory about it, and boy this story is really inspirational.I got a bit choked up reading it and I am a bit know rethinking it. Which raises the question. If a little girl can do so much for a cause she belives in, then what can you or I do? And why dont we do it? (whatever that may be).
