Madison's Story

At just 14 years old, Madison Brodeur is an unstoppable force. She's fierce on the football field, powerful on the volleyball court, and full of life, laughter, and strength beyond her years. But now, she's facing the toughest opponent yet—a rare and aggressive stage IV nasopharyngeal cancer.

Despite this unimaginable challenge, Madi continues to fight with the same determination that makes her a standout athlete and an inspiration to everyone who knows her. Her spirit is unbreakable, but she needs a team behind her.

Shane Brodeur is a proud veteran and a devoted father to his wonderful daughter, Madison. Her extraordinary strength and resilience in the face of this daunting diagnosis has amazed everyone who knows her. Despite the challenges, her passion for marine biology, volleyball, football, and surfing remains unwavering. Her determination and vibrant spirit continue to inspire everyone around her.

Your donation will help provide support for her family (Madi, Mom (Jen), Step Dad (Mike) and her 2 younger brothers, Logan & Maddox), and the resources she needs to focus on healing—so she can get back to doing what she loves most.

As Madison bravely fights through chemotherapy, your support can make a meaningful difference in her journey. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference in her battle as she faces this illness with incredible courage.
