"Since first meeting Madi in person, she's made a profound impact on Charlie. Beginning with the first home game of the season, Madi goes out of her way to give Char a high-five between every inning, completely engaging Charlie in the game and making her feel part of the action. Madi sends videos and offers to FaceTime when Charlie is going to an appointment or for a procedure. Madi surprised Charlie at the beach for her birthday and spent hours digging in the sand, reading books, and playing Charlie's wild pretend games. Madi has made Charlie feel like a real superstar and a friend to lean on. She motivates Charlie. Charlie wants to make Madi and the rest of the team proud in everything she does—school, being brave at the hospital, taking meds, or just being a good person. Thank you, Madi, for making a difference in Charlie (and our whole family's) life!"
