When two-year-old Madelyn began complaining of leg pain, the possible diagnoses ranged from a minor injury to juvenile arthritis...
But the local doctors could not confirm what was causing her pain. Madelyn’s mom told the doctors, “She’s not okay; we need to do something.” Finally after three grueling weeks of tests the family got heartbreaking news -- the source of their baby’s pain was worse than anyone had imagined -- a deadly tumor called neuroblastoma was discovered on the right side of Madelyn’s abdomen.
Doctors referred Madelyn to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital where the initial treatments put the disease into remission. But I’m sad to tell you that the cancer has returned and now this precious little girl has less than a ten percent chance of survival.
But Madelyn’s mom says, “We put our faith and trust in God and our hope in St. Jude.” As long as we have the support of friends like you, we will never stop fighting for Madelyn. Hope lives in all of our hearts and in all of the children of St. Jude. Please send in your donation today.
