WHY WE'RE FUNDRAISING WITH THE JIMMY FUND WALK TO FIGHT CANCER
Hi! My name is Maddox.
I want to help people fight cancer.
I am fundraising $5,000 to name a gene in memory of my mommy, Niki, who carried a genetic mutation known as BRCA1. She fought ovarian cancer for my entire life and I never even knew it. She passed away 4 days before I turned two. I am learning that most people live a long life, but my mommy died because she had cancer.
My mama tells me that I am a lot like my mommy. I used to call her nonny.
My sister, Asher, fundraised last year and purchased a gene in memory of our
mommy. It's special to be able to visit Dana Farber and see it whenever we can.
We even went in our PJ's one night. When Asher told me that she finished her
fundraiser, I said, "no fair". So now I am doing one too.
I am selling slime and sea glass necklaces if you want to buy some and donate
to my fundraiser.
