Madox's Warriors Foundation Details
Madox's Warriors is a registered charitable foundation created in honour of Madox Suzio. We are committed to finding a cure for DIPG (diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma), a brainstem tumour intertwined within the pons. Although over the last few decades there has been improvement for children battling most cancers; there has not with DIPG. There is NO cure, NO treatment - NO Survival. DIPG are highly aggressive and difficult to treat brain tumors found at the base of the brain. They are glial tumors, meaning they arise from the brain's glial tissue—tissue made up of cells that help support and protect the brain's neurons. These tumors are found in an area of the brainstem (the lowest, stem-like part of the brain) called the pons, which controls many of the body's most vital functions such as breathing, blood pressure, and heart rate. It typically attacks children between the ages of 5 and 9 with a life expectancy of 9-12 months, with only a few children living past 2 years.There is nothing more devastating than to hear your child has cancer, but also that it is untreatable and terminal. Madox's Warriors is committed to raising awareness about DIPG and raising funds for research into treatments and hopefully a cure to DIPG. Marco and Suzanne Suzio founded Madox's Warriors in honour of their 9 year old son Madox, who heroically battled DIPG for 5 months before passing away August 8, 2014. Our family was left hopeless when we were given his diagnosis of this deadly disease. We want to change that for other families.
