Meet Survivor, Madison!!!

Here's the second of the survivors I'd like to introduce you to this month for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

Look at these sweet faces!!! Who does that bald princess remind you of??? This is Madison.



Madison is four years old, just like Cora. Madison has Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) just like Cora. Madison is treated at Backus Children's Hospital in Savannah, GA just like Cora. And Madison is a princess, just like Cora!!!

Madison was diagnosed about 7 months ago with ALL. She is a twin. This is her twin sister, Jaci with her above. Madison's mom has 4 children and Madison and Jaci are the youngest. Madison's story reminds me so much of Cora's. She is such a strong little girl with a great spirit! Madison has just finished her delayed intensification phase of chemotherapy and we're praying that her counts will stay up so that she will soon reach her much less intense maintenance phase!

Madison is another shining example of how effective prayer and research can improve treatment and save lives! Please help support the Leukemia Lymphoma Society by donating to our Light The Night Fundraiser to improve treatment for these little ones!
