In late 2024, Madi began experiencing severe sinus issues and constant ear blockage. By November, she was extremely fatigued and in pain. Before a scheduled CT scan, Madi was rushed to Hasbro Children’s Hospital due to unbearable headaches. After several tests, doctors found a mass behind her nose and diagnosed her with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. She had a port placed on March 3rd and began treatment shortly after.
Madi is a strong and happy young girl with an amazing support system and community behind her. She’s sporty and loves being outside. Madi enjoys playing volleyball and flag football, going camping, and riding horses. She loves all animals, especially sharks! She also has a soft spot for flowers and butterflies. Madi’s wish is bold and fearless — she wants to go swimming with hammer or lemon sharks in the Gulf of Florida.
