Episode Description

July 23, 2026: Liz Scott is the co-executive director of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, founded by her daughter, Alex, a four-year-old cancer patient who promised to raise money for kids "like her." What started as a single lemonade stand has grown into a movement with over 15,700 community fundraisers and hundreds of research grants funded every year. Bill Russell and Sarah Richardson sit down with Liz to explore how a pure, tragic story became a national movement, what a $100 donation actually funds a decade later, and why she still hasn't burned out after 20 years of building something bigger than grief.
