My Story

Madison was your typical 13 year old girl. In the middle of 8th grade her world was turned upside down. She was diagnosed with T-cell ALL. Her life as she knew it came to a stand still. As parent you hear the words your child has cancer and all of the sudden you are helpless . You hold your child as tight and you can and cry. You put all your faith in her Dr's. And pray. Madison asked the Dr that day why me. Her Dr's response was simply "Bad Luck". Chemo had been rough and she lost her ability to dance. But she is getting stronger everyday and has an incredible support system. When they say ,"It takes a village to fight this horrible disease" they mean it no child should ever have to battle this battle.
