Madox's Warriors Foundation Cutting childhood cancer down to size by raising awareness for pediatric brain cancer and raising funds for childhood cancer research, specifically DIPG.

On March 7, 2014 our 8 year old son Madox was diagnosed with a rare form of brain tumour called DIPG (diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma). This tumour sits on the brain stem, intertwined within the pons. There is no cure. Our family was left devastated. His symptoms began with eye squinting, tiredness and some weakness. After seeing an optometrist, we knew something more serious neurologically was going on. That's when an MRI told us the devastating news. On March 12, he suddenly lost mobility to his entire left side and we rushed him to the emergency department. Within 12 hours, he had such cerebral edema (brain swelling), that he needed to be intubated. Over the next month he received his full course of radiation treatments, while we opted out of chemotherapy as it is of no help for this type of cancer. We decided to concentrate more on his quality of life and do all that we could for him. August 8th 2014 will always be a terrible day as Madox took his last breath surrounded by his family. Madox leaves behind his parents and his best friend and brother Valin (they are only 14 months apart). We are so angry there is no cure, let alone any kind of treatment for our children with DIPG. We plan to raise funds to go toward research, hoping to help children in the future.

Even though we haven’t done this awareness campaign for a few years, I still think about how stunning all those gold flags looked on that field. 10,000 to be exact for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. It took a lot of amazing volunteers coming out to put up and take down these flag with us. Volunteers who have been affected by childhood cancer, either their own family member or a friend. I think passerby’s were struck by the beauty of the flags then struck by the sadness it represented.

Considering starting it up again for 2027. Thoughts?

(I have a longer video showing the Warriors we were honouring. If anyone wants me to repost that, just let me know).

Thank you to everyone who came out for this year’s Superhero Run! Even with the rain, so many of you showed up with smiles, determination, and superhero spirit!

A huge part of what made the event possible was our amazing volunteers. We truly could not have put on this event without your time, energy, and support. You arrived early, braved the weather, and brought smiles and encouragement to every part of the course. Your enthusiasm helped keep our participants going, and we appreciate each and every one of you. 💙

We also can’t forget Leanne Taylor and her family, who came out to brave the weather and cheer everyone on! Thank you for posing for photos, bringing your smiles and support, and for sharing your bronze medal with fans. ❤️ such an infectious smile.

Thank you, volunteers, for being the superheroes behind the Superhero Run! 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

📸 We’ve also created a photo album featuring photos shared by our wonderful volunteers. Be sure to check them out and relive some of the highlights from the day! (On Superhero Run Manitoba page)

Professional photos will be available in the coming days/weeks, so stay tuned for even more memories from this year’s event!

Thank you again to everyone who participated, volunteered, supported, and helped make this year’s Superhero Run a success! ❤️💙
