Alex Scott never remembered a time she didn’t have cancer, having been diagnosed before her first birthday. She died at age eight. During her lifetime, Alex led efforts to raise over $1 million to fight childhood cancer. Her mother, Liz Scott, has continued the effort inspired by her daughter. The organization she inspired has now raised $175 million to fight cancer, about $25 million this year. As we approach the end of the run of the Your Mark on the World Show, I invited Liz to return to the show to provide an update as her inspiring story remains one of my favorites. Interview with Liz Scott, the Co-Executive Director of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. The following is the pre-interview with Liz Scott. Be sure to watch the recorded interview above. Revenue model: ALSF generates revenue through supporter donations, partnerships with local and national businesses and by hosting special events. Scale: ALSF now has more than 50 employees and generates about $25 million annually What is the problem you solve and how do you solve it? ALSF's goal is to find a cure for cancer. In the meantime, ALSF is funding research to help provide better, less toxic treatments to children with cancer.
