Madison’s Message

This year, Madison will not be hosting her Ice Cream for Breakfast fundraiser, but she hopes you’ll continue to support Make-A-Wish® with an online donation. 

In 2015, Madison’s wish came true when she travelled to Disney World to meet Elsa and Anna. During her magical trip, she stayed at Give Kids the World Village, where she was able to laugh, play, and make memories with her family—free from the worries of illness and spine surgeries she had already endured.

Just two years later, while recovering at McMaster Children’s Hospital from her 7th (of 8 total) spine surgeries due to severe scoliosis caused by a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy, Madison felt called to “pay it forward.” Inspired by her own experience, she created the Ice Cream for Breakfast fundraiser—her favorite memory from her wish trip—to help grant wishes for other children living with critical illnesses.

Though the fundraiser isn’t happening this year, the mission continues. Please consider donating online to Make-A-Wish and help bring joy, hope, and healing to another child’s life.

Together, we can keep the magic alive.
