Alex\u2019s Lemonade Stand Aids Childhood Cancer Research<\/em><\/p>\n

Danielle Benoit, Ph.D. will leave her Therapeutic Biomaterials Lab<\/a> at the University of Rochester this weekend to host the 6th<\/sup> Annual Benoit Laboratory Lemonade Stand<\/a> at the Rochester and Brighton public markets.<\/p>\n

Benoit and her students will be serving lemonade and explaining their work on childhood cancer therapies as part of a national effort organized by Alex\u2019s Lemonade Stand Foundation<\/a>, which has helped fund her research.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people don\u2019t realize that treating cancer in children is much different from treating cancer in adults,\u201d said Benoit, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering. \u201cAt the same time, funding for childhood cancer research is woefully miniscule, compared to the money that goes into studying adult cancers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The name, Alex\u2019s Lemonade Stand, comes from Alexandra \u201cAlex\u201d Scott of Connecticut, a four-year-old girl who was diagnosed with cancer before her first birthday. Alex set up lemonade stands every year before\u00a0her death at age eight to raise money so that doctors could find a cure for cancer, the leading cause of death for children 15 and younger. The idea spread, and children in other parts of the country set up their own lemonade stands to join the cause.<\/p>\n

Benoit hopes to raise $2,000 by the end of the weekend.<\/p>\n
