With heavy hearts, we remember and honor Ellen Hanson, a longtime supporter of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) whose dedication to our mission began with her family’s own childhood cancer journey. 💛 When Ellen’s son Sean was diagnosed with neuroblastoma as a young child, she found purpose in sharing his story and supporting the mission that Alex Scott started: finding cures for all children with cancer. Ellen and her family embraced ALSF, hosting and visiting stands, spreading awareness, and helping carry Alex’s story forward. She made it a priority to instill these values in her children, ensuring that the spirit of giving and the importance of helping others would continue for generations. After a yearlong battle with neuroendocrine lung cancer, Ellen has passed away, leaving behind a legacy of love, generosity, and unwavering dedication to helping children with cancer. We are deeply grateful to Ellen for sharing her family’s story, championing Alex’s mission, and helping inspire others to make a difference. Our hearts are with her loved ones during this difficult time. 🎗️

Childhood cancer survivor Samantha Panasewicz first heard about Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation when she was an intern at Northwestern Mutual in 2019. She helped with a lemonade stand, and then a few years later, she hosted her own event which raised over $28,000 for childhood cancer research. For Samantha, childhood cancer awareness means hope and work to do. "I want to live in a world where all childhood cancer patients become childhood cancer survivors," she wrote.

This week’s featured childhood cancer hero is Sawyer Knoblock! Sawyer is a young man with a big personality who always shows so much love for others. When he was diagnosed with germinoma, treatment had to be tailored specifically to him since he also has Down syndrome. Luckily, it worked and today Sawyer has no evidence of disease! #childhoodcancerawareness

ALSF funded researcher, Dr. Alex Huang, leads the Million Mile Team “Run, Alex! Run!" This year, the team held a lemonade tasting fundraiser at UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s featuring eight hospital pediatric department teams competing for best lemonade and best decorations. For a $5 donation, guests received a fresh donut and eight lemonade samples. The toasted marshmallow lemonade was a highlight 🔥 And who doesn’t love a golden retriever in an Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation bandana?! Over $1100 was raised at the lemonade tasting fundraiser, helping bring the team's total to over $5,000 for The Million Mile 2026 💛

🎗️ For some kids facing brain tumors, sarcomas, neuroblastoma or other solid cell tumors, proton radiation can be a lifesaving treatment. Unfortunately, there are only about 100 proton centers in the world, and the U.S. is the only country in North America with proton radiation therapy available. Over 70% of the population lives more than 100 miles from the medical centers offering some of the most critical cancer treatments like proton radiation, leaving it out of reach for too many kids. 💛 We believe facts like these can change. Why? Because we've seen what your donations can do. We've seen safer treatments emerge. We've seen kids saved who wouldn't have had any options a decade ago. We know a brighter future for all kids with cancer is possible, because your support brings them hope.

This week's featured childhood cancer hero is Destiny Anderson! Destiny had one of the biggest hearts of anyone. Despite everything she'd been through, she was always resilient, brave, and determined in the face of her rare and aggressive brain cancer. Her family was grateful for assistance from ALSF's Travel For Care program that got Destiny to her specialized care and helped their family feel less alone. Sadly Destiny passed away, but her family finds solace that she passed on her 16th birthday, September 16th, 2026. #childhoodcancerawareness

Alex’s story has a way of coming full circle. 🍋💛 Ashley McClain was an elementary school counselor at Penn Wynne, where she once helped with our annual event: Alex’s "Original" Lemonade Stand. Now as a mom herself, she wanted to share Alex’s story with her own children and show them the importance of giving back. For her daughter’s 5th birthday, Ashley and her family turned the celebration into a fundraiser for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. They surpassed their goal raising around $700 to help fund the fight against childhood cancer!
