Summary

Maddie's world changed when she was diagnosed with Turners Syndrome in 5th grade, but it didn't define her, it simply allowed her to know herself so much better. Turners Syndrome comes with physical challenges and learning disabilities, and Maddie had to accept and endure both. Her story will remind you that we are so much more than a diagnosis, and that even our challenges can be our greatest gifts. Maddie is our niece and we know you will be inspired by her story - her motto is Be Fearless, and she puts her energy toward living these words.
