1
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Everybody's built courtney with an army in normal folks, and

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: if you can get through the tears. We continue now

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: with part two of our conversation with Liz Scott. Right

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: after these brief messages from our general sponsors. So in

5
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: the period of time between four and a half and

6
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: her passing, you had a conversation with her where she

7
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: asked you where the money was going, and I think

8
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: you told her what We're sending it to your doctors,

9
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: and she was not pleased.

10
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: She was not pleased, so she questioned what we were

11
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: doing with the money, as it was kind of coming

12
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: in all year round at this point, and I said,

13
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: you know what we're doing. We're giving it to your hospital,

14
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: which at the time was a Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

15
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 3: To your doctor to and she said, well, what is

16
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 3: he doing with it?

17
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: And I said, well, he's using it to study neuroblastoma, which,

18
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: as we've mentioned, was her cancer. And she started shaking

19
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: her head, and I said, what's the matter. She said,

20
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: that is so selfish, and even then I'm embarrassed to

21
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 2: say it now because I've seen what's come from her vision.

22
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: I was about to respond and say I don't care

23
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: because in my mind, what I wanted was a cure

24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 2: for my daughter more than anything in the entire world,

25
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: and the only way to do that was by funding

26
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: research into her cancer. But before I could get the

27
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: words out, she said, all kids want their tumors to

28
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: go away, which is what she called her cancer. All

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: kids want their tumors to away, something along the lines

30
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: of we should be giving money to all the hospitals

31
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: for all the kids. And once again I just got

32
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: that feeling. I wanted to cry because she was six

33
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: when she said that, and I was, you know, thirty something,

34
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: and I felt like such a small person for thinking

35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 2: for a moment that this was about her and curing

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: her and about what I wanted, when it was really

37
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: about something so much bigger.

38
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 4: Man.

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: I have a serious regret that I was not around

40
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: to meet your daughter, because that is a level of

41
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: maturity that I know lengthy of people in their fifties

42
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: and sixties don't have.

43
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 3: I agree.

44
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 2: I feel like when I tell these stories, I feel

45
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 2: like I'm portraying myself as some.

46
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: Sort of you know, terrible mom.

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: I guess, I would say, but you have to understand

48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: I was a normal mom right dealing with an incredibly

49
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: hard situation and wanted nothing more than to protect my

50
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: daughter from any additional harm. And that included not making

51
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: her life about reaching a million dollar goal when she

52
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: had so little left to give, And I just wanted

53
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: her to think about herself.

54
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: But she wasn't having it. She really wasn't.

55
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: And I'm so grateful to her for showing me that

56
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: you can create a purpose out of something that's so

57
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: incredibly hard.

58
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: So we always talk about on an army in normal

59
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: folks that when passion and ability intersected opportunity, that's when

60
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 1: amazing things in the world happen. Passion and ability intersected opportunity.

61
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: And this is that this is she was passionate about tumors.

62
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: We'll call them what she called them. She had the

63
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: ability make a lemonade stand, and she saw an opportunity

64
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: and filled it. And if a person from four and

65
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: a half to eight and a half and that short

66
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: amount of time walking the face of our planet, if

67
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: that normal kid can use her passion and her ability

68
00:03:53,440 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: at opportunity to raise a million dollars, what can fully

69
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: developed grown human beings do if they just have the

70
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: temerity and courage to engage their passion where they see need.

71
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: She is an inspiration not only for the lemonade stand,

72
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: but her story is what we are begging people to

73
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: think about when they look in the mirror in the morning.

74
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: What can we do? And if an eight year old

75
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: can raise a million dollars, we need to be sitting

76
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: here right now asking ourselves what am I good at?

77
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: What am I passionate about? And where's their need? What

78
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: can I do? And if we had millions of Alexes

79
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: walking the face of the planet, can you imagine how

80
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: different our society and our culture would be today.

81
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 2: That's exactly our thought after she died and we decided

82
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: to continue it, is if she could do this, we

83
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: can't say it's too hard to continue it without her.

84
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: We can't say it will be hard. There's a million

85
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: reasons it's not going to work. It's eliminates and right,

86
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: how is it going to continue without her? But all

87
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: of those things you said, if she could do it,

88
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: if she had the courage to do it, we certainly

89
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: needed the courage to change things for other families.

90
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: You know, I was reading the story, and from here

91
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: the story jumps to what you're doing now and everything else.

92
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: I think it's.

93
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: A mission to jump immediately because two parents and siblings

94
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: had to bury their daughter and their sister, and as

95
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: a family, you guys had to cope and then move on.

96
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: I want to give you just a brief moment to

97
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: remind us all that you're human beings, and this is

98
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: a family, and behind this organization is a love of

99
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: a daughter and a sister, and that it didn't just

100
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: Alex passed and we started a foundation.

101
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: Absolutely not I mean that.

102
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 4: Because you're a normal person doing a normal crap.

103
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean it was. It's hard. It's still hard.

104
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: It's still hard to really really think about Alex and

105
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: everything our family has lost, everything, her three brothers have lost,

106
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: not having a sister.

107
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: It's still hard. There are days better or harder than others.

108
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: I think her gift she gave us was the incredible

109
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: lessons we learned from her, and I think every parent

110
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: who's lost a child takes those lessons with them and

111
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: tries to live up to them as.

112
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: They move forward. But it's been incredibly hard.

113
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: So I appreciate you acknowledging that for all of us

114
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: in our own way grieving her while also celebrating her life.

115
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 2: Because there was so much to celebrate, and now twenty

116
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: one years later, there's even more to celebrate because of

117
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: the progress and the kids who are benefiting from her life.

118
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 3: But it's still very much unbalanced.

119
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: There's never a balance, right, It's more of like one

120
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: day you think, wow, this is great, but what did

121
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: this do for Alex? She's not here to enjoy it,

122
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 2: And then another minute you think this is amazing and

123
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: everyone would want their life to have this legacy, including Alex.

124
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: So I just want as people look at you and

125
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: hear you and see the foundation of what it does,

126
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: and celebrate you for carrying on this legacy. I just

127
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: want people to remember, before all of that, you're still

128
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: Alex's mom.

129
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: Yes.

130
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: So, Albert Pike, a eighteenth century freemason, said, what we

131
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: do for ourselves in this life does with us what

132
00:07:53,640 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: we do for another last forever remains immortal when talking

133
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: about legacy, So you guys start, I think it's called

134
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: Alex's Lemonade stand foundation if we're going to say it

135
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: exactly right, which obviously is her legacy. So take us

136
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: through the foundation forming.

137
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 4: And today.

138
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: Wow, So never could have imagined that we would be

139
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 2: sitting here now saying we've raised over three hundred fifty

140
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: million dollars.

141
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 3: And when I say we say that again, three hundred

142
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 3: fifty million people in the back.

143
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: But when I say we, I never want that to

144
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: come across as it as if it's Jay and myself,

145
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: because there have literally been millions of people through lemonade

146
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: stands that happen.

147
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 3: We have more lemonade in an.

148
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: Army, an army, there's been an army of normal folks, yes,

149
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: helping a continue this from lemonade stands like Firebirds does,

150
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 2: asking people to give kids having lemonade stands, donors, giving

151
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 2: our events. It literally has taken what Alex started as

152
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: a movement and grown it. She kind of gave us

153
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 2: that spark, and we're just so lucky we've been able

154
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 2: to continue it to the point now where we have

155
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 2: had a tremendous impact on the landscape of pediatric cancer.

156
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: You know, necessdinally Memphians, you've given almost ten million dollars

157
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: to our own s's.

158
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 3: Actually now eleven, yes, eleven million. Yes. So we fund.

159
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 2: Research all over the United States, all over North America.

160
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: We don't we're the largest independent funder outside the federal government,

161
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: meaning we don't give to one hospital or one academic center.

162
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 3: We give all over the country.

163
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: We have a competitive print review process, and we fund

164
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 2: everything from early science to clinical trials for all kinds

165
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 2: of childhood cancer, just as Alex wanted at all hospitals,

166
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: ultimately looking to put ourselves out of business and finish

167
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: what Alex started and find better cures for kids with kimerling.

168
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 4: I've read that recently, either this past June or.

169
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: June of twenty four a recent June, you had like

170
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred lemonade stands across the country and one day

171
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: that people volunteered set up and you raised like one

172
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: point five million dollars on that day.

173
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 4: Is that right?

174
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 3: Yeah?

175
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: So June is the month that Alex had her stand,

176
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: and that's our lemonade days. So this year was our

177
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: biggest ever. We actually had thirty five hundred this year,

178
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 2: but they were spread throughout the month and we'll raise

179
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: close to two million with just those lemonade stands just

180
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 2: in June alone.

181
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 4: And that's just.

182
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: This guy over here deciding he's going to put a

183
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: lemonade stand in and everything he raises, he sends the foundation.

184
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: That's right, yep, Okay, well that's great. But thirty five

185
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: hundred is a relatively low number. We need to get

186
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: up to ten thousand. People haven't and raised five million.

187
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 2: That is so interesting you say that because we had

188
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: a meeting to talk about lemonade days for next year.

189
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: And my husband has to get a lot of credit

190
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: for being the just like Alex, the always pushing wait, wait, wait,

191
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 2: more and more and more. And so we did three

192
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 2: five hundred and I said, I think the goal could

193
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: be five thousand next year, and Jay said five thousand.

194
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: I think it should be ten thousand.

195
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 4: Where I didn't know that I picked that number.

196
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: I half, but if you think about the numbers of

197
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: people in the United States, right, thirty five hundred is

198
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: a relatively no number. We should have five hundred and Memphis.

199
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: I mean if you multiplied that times the fifty largest

200
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: municipalities in the country and added in I don't even

201
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: think ten thousands about if you really think about it,

202
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: I mean, how hard is it you set up elimonade

203
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: saying you picked the Jai Everybody's for charity. You get

204
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: everybody in your neighborhood to come by, and you send

205
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: the check to the thing. I don't know why that

206
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: doesn't work.

207
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 3: It works.

208
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: It works incredibly well, and not only that, I got

209
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: to work harder. We're doing all we care, Yeahue, but

210
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: there is always more to be done. We constantly have

211
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: to think about how do we bring new people into the.

212
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 3: Army to help us solve this problem for families.

213
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: A lot of the people who participate are people with

214
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 2: a personal connection to childhood cancer. We need everybody, even

215
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 2: if you don't have a child with cancer or a

216
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: niece or nephew, to recognize that this is a cause

217
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: that needs your help, needs your support. And it's really

218
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 2: easy to do and it's fun. Kids love doing it.

219
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 2: They get to do something that they actually can actively

220
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: participate in and lead that's contributing to.

221
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: Help sororities, fraternities, college campuses. My mind is running wild

222
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: about people that should be doing this right now. And

223
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: now I'm starting to get a little angry that there's

224
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: only thirty five hundred.

225
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 4: If I think about it completely, we.

226
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: Did have at least one in every state this year.

227
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: Very cool and yeah, actually Hawai only had one. Alaska

228
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: there was five, so that was the most we've ever

229
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: had in the.

230
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: Last Elimonade's got to be a tough sale in Alaska. Well,

231
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: I guess in June it gets warmer.

232
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think right, there's not as many people there,

233
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 2: So I don't know if setting up like in your

234
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: yard is really going to be super profitable.

235
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 3: You might have to think about the location.

236
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 4: Well, it depends on how many kids you have knocking

237
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 4: on doors that day.

238
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, we'll be right back. So this thing is

239
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: morphed and I'm looking for notes. So now you've got

240
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: two things and I'll let you just take it as

241
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: you want to. One is, you've got the one cup

242
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: at a time club, you can host a lemonade stand.

243
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: You got the million mile I want you to share

244
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: all of that. But have you've been able to connect

245
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: with families and children that you know have been directly

246
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: impacted by Alex's founding and you guys shepherding this stream

247
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: of hers, Yes, tell us about one cuple of time

248
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: they now, and tell us about the payoff that as

249
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: a mom you at least get to see other families

250
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: positively impacted by your daughter's journey.

251
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'll do the self first, right, So you

252
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: can have a lemonade sand, you can join our monthly giving.

253
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: It's a great way, you know. Five dollars a month,

254
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: ten dollars a month. You're part of the club one

255
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: Cup at a time club, and we're trying to grow

256
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 2: that to ten thousand as well. We're in the low

257
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 2: thousands now. It's a monthly giving, a recurring giving. So

258
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: you go to our website and you say, yes, I

259
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: want to give five dollars a month every month or

260
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: ten or some people give a hundred. Whatever you want

261
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: to give per month. It comes out we automatically. We

262
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: charge your card automatically. But it's more than that. You

263
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: get monthly contact from us, sharing progress and notes. But

264
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: really just know that over time, just like Alex showed us,

265
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: like that incremental one cup at a time, small donations

266
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 2: can add up to a lot of money.

267
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 3: Just donate a one time donation. We take it all.

268
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: But we have a big event in September, which is

269
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and that's top of mine. Now,

270
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: you can have a lemonade stand any time of year.

271
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 2: I just want to say, but in September we all

272
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: get together. Last year we had twenty five thousand people

273
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: we're trying to grow it this year who create a

274
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: page a team on our website and they set a

275
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: goal for how many miles they want to walk, run, bike,

276
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: you can count your steps, whatever we need to do

277
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: to get to a million miles all together for kids

278
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: with cancer. And that event has become our largest sort

279
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: of community event. It's virtual, you just do it wherever

280
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: you are and we will hopefully raise well over two

281
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: million dollars through that event this year, hopefully closer to three.

282
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: So all of these things we do, we have events

283
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 2: in different a few different cities. But all of that

284
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: is not because we love running around like lunatics, planning

285
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: events and trying to get people to do lemonades.

286
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 4: So kind of Memphis, talking to fat redheaded guys all that.

287
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: But because we now know that we are making progress,

288
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: and that is really because of the families who we

289
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: have been so fortunate have taken the time because they

290
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 2: were told by their doctor about Alex's and how alex

291
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: Is lemonade and Alex's life made their treatment possible to

292
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 2: come to us and say thank you, and I want

293
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: to be a part of what you're doing. We also

294
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 2: have some family support programs, so we've met many families

295
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: through that. So if you know of a family who's

296
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: who is fighting childhood cancer, or has even we have

297
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: somebody on staff who can help them with whatever resources they.

298
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 4: Need, including travel and something.

299
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: Including travel if you need to travel to another hospital,

300
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: as we did for an innovative or new therapy. We

301
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: have a sibling support program. We have a lot of

302
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 2: educational materials for families. But really, I mean, there's so

303
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: many stories. I would say one of my favorite is

304
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 2: a young boy named Philip who was not local to Philadelphia,

305
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: but he had the same cancer as Alex and just

306
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 2: like our family, nothing had worked, and they were told

307
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 2: that he would not survive, but.

308
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 3: He was I believe.

309
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 2: Oh let me think he was maybe five four or

310
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 2: five years old at this point.

311
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: So, I mean, you guys know this story, yes, I

312
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: mean this is personal to you.

313
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 2: Probably we know the story well and we know what

314
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 2: it's like to then find out there is a clinical

315
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 2: trial that might help your child, feeling that hope, but

316
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: knowing that you know it was maybe unlikely or you

317
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 2: could be crushed again because it might not work. So

318
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: they ended up participating in this trial that we we

319
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: had funded at various parts of in its whole lifetime

320
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 2: of discovery to trial, and we had heard about this

321
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: child from the researcher, and she kept saying, I want

322
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: you to meet this family. I really think you need

323
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: to meet this family. And he was cured. He was cured,

324
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 2: and this was not cured. It was not a toxic treatment,

325
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 2: it was a pill. His hair grew back. So the

326
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 2: parents are sitting there saying, this can't be working right,

327
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 2: it's too easy, Like were they giving him a placebo

328
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 2: or something? And his cancer melted away. And so we

329
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 2: had heard of him. But one day it happened to

330
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 2: be Alex's birthday a couple of years ago. I'm not

331
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: usually in the office a lot of times. I just

332
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 2: take the day to do whatever I feel like doing.

333
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 2: But I had to be in the office for something

334
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 2: that day and this family stops by. I didn't know

335
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 2: who they were, and she said, are you Liz And

336
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 2: I said yes, and she just started crying and she

337
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: hugged me, and you know, she said, that's Philip, and

338
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 2: I still wasn't connecting and she said, that's Philip, my son.

339
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 2: And he was running all around the office. And I

340
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 2: think he was probably ten at the time. He's like

341
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 2: twelve or thirteen now. And she said, Philip, the little

342
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: boy who Alex saved, and of course I started crying,

343
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 2: and they stayed for a while and we talked to

344
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: him and we've become friends since. But that's just one family.

345
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: But as I sat there with them on her birthday,

346
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: I thought, how incredible, how incredible on this day when

347
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: you need something right to show you that Alex is

348
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: still alive in so many ways, to have this child

349
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 2: there just running around care free, feeling great, several years

350
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 2: cancer free, literally because of what she created her life,

351
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 2: and it was such a gift to me. But that's

352
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 2: happened so many times over, just not necessarily on her birthday,

353
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: and it never gets old. As they say, I'm so

354
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: grateful to those families for being willing to share and

355
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 2: to allow me to be a part of their experience

356
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 2: and to think that Alex was a part of their child.

357
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 2: We had one family that tells us every year on

358
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: their daughter's birthday, they light a candle for Alex because

359
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 2: they know without Alex their daughter would not be celebrating

360
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 2: her birthday.

361
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 4: Their daughter's birthday, they.

362
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 2: Light a candle and she's like seventeen now she had this.

363
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 2: She was in the same boat as a toddler. They

364
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 2: were considered and curable, so we know there's progress, but sadly,

365
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: there's many times where kids don't make it, and that's

366
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: it takes us right back.

367
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 3: That's so so hard when you know a family.

368
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: But does that create even more determination to do more? Absolutely,

369
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: it's not defeating.

370
00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 4: It's more fueling.

371
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 2: It's fueling because it makes us realize that as much

372
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 2: as we should and do celebrate the successes, there's not

373
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 2: enough of them. We have many, many, many more successes

374
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 2: to come, and the only way we're going to do

375
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 2: that is to just keep pushing and selling lemonade.

376
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: And they need to do yep.

377
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: I know, Philip and the birthday cake people and millions

378
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: of others are really glad that Alex was so steadfast

379
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: and perturbing that you finally gave in on that June day,

380
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, born from a little girl who just wanted

381
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: to have a lemonade stand and give money away to

382
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: this it's just, you know, I think it's why it's

383
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: twenty years old and still going strong. I think it's

384
00:21:53,880 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: why the national media has loved this story forever. Liz,

385
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: my goodness, what a legacy your daughter has left. We

386
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: have a few minutes, okay, and I know, for everybody listening,

387
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna, I think they're gonna we're gonna have a

388
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: lemonade stand outside of Firebirds here in a little bit,

389
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: and you're gonna hang around, aren't you.

390
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

391
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, good. But for those of you who took the

392
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: time to join us today, you have a chance now

393
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: from the horse's mouth, if you have any questions about Alex,

394
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: Alex's lemon and the aid stand, the foundation, I ain't

395
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: get involved. Anybody wants to ask any questions, here she is.

396
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: And if you don't, and you don't feel weird, you

397
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: don't have to, and we can close it anybody. Maybe

398
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: I'll start off with one as people think, if is

399
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: there a story of no bad days Frankie?

400
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 4: If you remember that.

401
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 3: Yes, so I just mentioned that.

402
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 2: It's it's always it's really hard when you we meet

403
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 2: a lot of families and we get attached to them

404
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: in their stories, even if we've actually never met them.

405
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 2: But in Frankie's case, we had met his family several times.

406
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,719
Speaker 2: We have an army to keep using your word of ambassadors.

407
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 2: So these are families across the country who participate with

408
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 2: us and share their story. And Frankie's family was one

409
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 2: of those families, and we met him when he was

410
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 2: kind of first through his treatment for brain tumors, and

411
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 2: his mom.

412
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 3: Told the story about Frankie.

413
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 2: In kindergarten, starting kindergarten and he had just spent the

414
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 2: summer fighting a brain tumor. And the kindergarten teacher talked,

415
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: was kind of having their circle time talking about the

416
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: I hope I'm getting the story right paraphrasing, talking about

417
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: maybe like what the class would be like, and she

418
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 2: talked about bad days and we could have good days,

419
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: and we have bad days, and you know, has anybody

420
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: ever had a bad day?

421
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 3: And every hand went.

422
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 2: Up except Frankie. And she said, Frankie, you've never had

423
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: a bad day.

424
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 3: And he said no. She said you've never.

425
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,719
Speaker 2: Had a bad day and he said, no, no bad days,

426
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 2: And that became Frankie would go on to to continue

427
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 2: to fight his brain cancer. Ultimately was considered in remission

428
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 2: or stable, but the side effects from the horrendous treatment

429
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: that we have to give kids for brain tumors ultimately

430
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 2: ended up taking his life. So Frankie passed away shortly after.

431
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 2: He spoke at one of our lemon balls, but that

432
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:24,479
Speaker 2: became his family's rallying cry no bad Days, and I

433
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 2: think for me.

434
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 3: Very much like some of the things Alex said in

435
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 3: her life.

436
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 2: It really shows you how these kids are able to

437
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: deal with what they deal with and.

438
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 3: Just have this incredible spirit and energy.

439
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 2: And that's what we're fighting for, because we want no

440
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 2: bad days for all of those kids, right and we

441
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: want kids like Frankie to have the chance to just

442
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 2: do amazing things in their lives with their attitude and

443
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 2: their inspiration for so many people, so beautiful.

444
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 4: Anybody else.

445
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I'm so honored you came to join us

473
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: Scott has not inspired you, you have a problem. But

474
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: if she has inspired you in general or better yet,

475
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: to take action by hosting a lemonade stand that benefits

476
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, which is easy to do, it's

477
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: a one day thing. Or joining their donor club called

478
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 1: One Cup at a Time, which is really easy to

479
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: do because they just charge your credit card five bucks

480
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: a month, like you can't miss that, or participating in

481
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: the million mile, which is a little harder to do.

482
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: If you're fat like me, or something else entirely, please
