Local family hosts 5th 'Alex's Lemonade Stand' fundraiser for cancer

Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, May 20th, 4:06 pm

In their continuing efforts to battle childhood cancer, The Honor Family will host their 5th Annual Alex’s Lemonade/Coffee Stand on Saturday, May 21, from 8:30-10:30 a.m. at The Town Hall Green next to Downtown Longleaf (3141 Deland St.). Along with lemonade, this event will also include lemon themed games for the neighborhood children. Lydia Honor shared the story of Alexandra “Alex” Scott with her children after seeing an interview that Alex did, and the family has been inspired to be involved ever since.

After growing up and seeing her brother survive Wilms’ tumor, a type of childhood cancer, Lydia feels that teaching her own children to give back is important. Five years ago Lydia wanted her children, Holden 12 and Riley 7, to understand how fortunate they were and started a small neighborhood event using a lemonade stand. They have been hosting the lemonade stand ever since and are pleased to have the support of many local families in the effort.
