Our journey so far

Hello, my name is Kelsey I'm 16 years old and in mid-December of last year my best friend Madison Mcintyre was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma cancer, which is a form of bone cancer. Maddie has so far made a lot of progress and at this point is about 1/3 through of her treatment! She's been doing amazing so far and I am super hopeful for the day this is done. When Maddie first received her news a lot of her friends didn't know how to react and kind of took a step back, so I know sometimes it's very hard for Maddie. I try my best to always visit her every week in the hospital and make sure to have her over whenever she's home. Later tonight we're even painting Easter eggs! Shaving part of my hair for Maddie was probably one of the hardest decisions in my life, but I really wanted her to know that she is beautiful with or without hair. This journey so far has really been an eye-opener to us both and has really taught us both to be appreciative of what we have. A lot of people do not realize how simple their lives are, it's very hard sometimes when reality strikes and you realize what's going on around me. Maddie is a true inspiration THE strongest person I have ever met, and is beautiful inside and out no matter what.
