This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we're celebrating brave children like Madison and investing in a brighter future for children and families facing cancer.

In 2023, at just 18 months old, Madison’s life changed after what seemed like a simple fall led to an emergency room visit. Additional tests revealed chordoma, a rare cancer diagnosis that came just days before Christmas. In the months that followed, Madison endured chemotherapy and three surgeries, including one during which she went into cardiac arrest. Her final surgery was in April 2024, followed by seven weeks of proton radiation. In July 2024, Madison rang the bell. Today, Madison has been in remission for two years. She’s a thriving 4-year-old and enjoying preschool! Stories like Madison’s are why CURE funds critical pediatric cancer research and provides support for families facing childhood cancer. This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we would love to honor your hero. Submit your story at the link in our bio.
