Maddie's Mission

Hi all! This is Lauren Rizzo, Madison's aunt. Several people have reached out to me regarding donations for Maddie, this platform is perfect to do that. If you would like to donate, please make your donation here. I tried to do a CashApp but it was hard because not everyone has that app or a Venmo; this was the easiest option to keep everything together.

If you would like to follow Maddie and her Leukemia journey, please follow/like her page on Facebook "Maddie's Mission".

For those of you who don’t know, on 2/27/23 Maddie, age 3, was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) which is the most common type of cancer in children. It affects certain cells in the immune system, called B cells and T cells. ALL usually affects B cells in children. B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia is a cancer that affects your "B lymphocytes" -- white blood cells that grow in the soft center of your bones, called marrow. B lymphocytes are supposed to grow into cells that help you fight infections. But in this disease, they turn into "leukemia" cells that live longer than normal cells and reproduce quickly. They build up in your bone marrow and move into your bloodstream. From there they can spread to other organs in your body.

Maddie, her mom, dad, brothers, and the rest of her family appreciate all the love, support, and prayers. Thank you so much!
