David Owens is the uncle and one of the loving survivors of his niece, Madison, who passed away in 2017 due to neuroblastoma that was detected pre-birth. She was 9 years, 9 months, and 9 days old.

Madison became a precious beacon of sunshine during her hard-fought battle with cancer. Her unlimited positivity and hopeful outlook, despite her eventual prognosis, resulted in waves of media attention from numerous people and organizations, and it was my absolute honor and privilege to speak to a man who was there with her through it all.

Now a husband and father himself, David reflects on both of their journeys, the lessons she taught him, and how she shaped the person he is today.

Please consider a donation, a word of encouragement/support, or both, to The Dragonfly Foundation, and/or Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in Madison's memory.
