Giving Activity
Mission
Miles for Madison is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing recreational and educational opportunities to families with children with disabilities. One of the simplest ways to do this is by giving all families access to safe, fun, and engaging playgrounds right in their community
Background Statement
Madison Reynolds was born with lissencephaly, a rare genetic condition that causes the brain to not develop correctly. Instead of having the typical folds and creases within the brain, those diagnosed with this condition have brains that appear smooth. Although it can vary greatly depending on the malformation, Madison was born with her brain severely affected. Madison suffered from daily seizures, was non-ambulatory, non-verbal, tube-fed, and never passed the 3-6 month milestones.
Because Madison was in a wheelchair there were many things she could not do but anytime she was able to feel motion she was happy. She loved amusement park rides, swinging in swings, riding in boats, going for bike rides, and being pushed in her wheelchair on runs and walks.
When we lost our sweet girl in 2018 we wanted to find a way to honor her life and celebrate the things that she taught us from that dream Miles 4 Madison was born. We want to help families get outside and spend time at their local park on the playground or participating in a sport.
