January, 2006. The UCLA Masters Swim Club dedicated their annual one-hour swim as a fundraiser for Madisons Foundation. Thanks to their amazing efforts, this event was one of our most successful ever. Said one donor to a swimmer/participant, "You are one of a kind. Made of the best materials and spirit. You are better than gold or diamonds for you are priceless. I find it wonderful to watch the agreements people make with their lives. We should all be grateful to Madison for pulling us all up a notch by helping her."

With the proceeds from this event a donation is being made by Madisons Foundation to the Emerging Therapies Iniative in Pediatric Oncology, sponsored by the Jonsson Comprehensive cancer Center at UCLA. This program’s mission: reducing laboratory-to-bedside lead times for emerging therapies for children with rare tumors, a leading cause of death in children less than 14 years.
