MADISON'S STORY

When a trip to the emergency room on April 5, 2018 turned into a week-long stay at Levine Children's Hospital, my world was shattered.  We sat in a very small room, while hearing the news that our sweet Madison had a very rare solid tumor consuming over half of her right femur.  Her treatment plan included numerous rounds of chemotherapy, major surgery that would leave her with a metal rod in her leg, more medical procedures than I can count, and daily side-effects that come with cancer.

Cancer steals and it stole so much from Madison.  It took away her feeling of safety and her independence.  It took away her childhood and her dreams of the future.  We lost memories we will never get to cherish.  But cancer never stood a chance against Madison's spirit or her smile.  She continued to make others laugh and despite the pain she was feeling, she invented ways to help other people.

Madison's battle with cancer ended December 21, 2019, but the fight she started to help others continues. I made a promise to Madison to make her proud and to never stop looking for a cure.  I promised her I would live my life exactly how she lived hers.
