Maddie’s Story

Site created on March 17, 2018

On Friday, March 16, Maddie was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and admitted to Maine Medical Center in Portland, Maine. We'll be using CaringBridge to keep everyone informed of how she is progressing through her treatment, which we're confident will result in a cure for her cancer. We appreciate your support, words of encouragement, and positive energy. 


Thank you for visiting B Positive for Maddie!
