THE HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL
cancer research.
Many children have read
the book “Alex and the
Amazing Lemonade Stand,”
written by Liz, Jay and Alex
Scott. Inspired and empow
ered by Alex’s example,
many children asked their
parents to help them set up
an “Alex’s Lemonade Stand”
so they too could help Alex
realize her dream of finding
a cure for childhood cancer.
“The simple concept of
‘fighting childhood cancer,
one cup at a time’ through a
lemonade stand gives peo
ple, especially children, the
opportunity to organize and
raise money for childhood
cancer,” said Mary Jane
Kinnas, one of the volun
teers for the local event. “We
all know children right here
in our community who are
fighting cancer right now or
have battled cancer, and the
Alex’s Lemonade Stand
gives all of us and our chil
dren a way to keep working
toward a cure.”
