Ryan’s Lemonade Stand is a
part of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.
Alexandra “Alex” Scott founded Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation on what
seemed to be a simple concept. In the year 2000, when Alex was just 4-years-old
and battling neuroblastoma, she told her parents that she wanted to have a
lemonade stand in her front yard. She surprised everyone when she announced her
plan to donate the money from the stand to “her hospital” to help the doctors
find a cure for all kids with cancer.
As Alex fought her own cancer, she also continued to hold yearly
lemonade stands to benefit childhood cancer research. News of Alex, a sick
child helping other sick children spread far and wide. People from all over the
world were inspired by her story and decided to help Alex in her quest to find
a cure by holding their own lemonade stands and donating the money to Alex’s
Lemonade Stand Foundation. In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of 8,
knowing that, with the help of others, she had raised more than $1 million to
help find a cure for all kids with cancer.
Ryan is the son of Ben and Natalie Altizer. Ryan was diagnosed in
December of 2012 with Medulloblastoma and is currently cancer free. The Altizer’s became a
part of the Terry Labonte Chevrolet family in 2013 with the purchase of their new
Tahoe. They have been back ever since
.
