Overland Park family seeks rocks for girl with cancer
Key Points:
- Madison Lang, a 6-year-old from the Kansas City area, was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of cancer located in her stomach, in late May.
- To support Madison, family, friends, and even strangers have been painting and sending colorful rocks with messages of hope and encouragement to create "Maddie’s Rock Garden."
- The rock garden, which started with just a few rocks about three months ago, has grown to over 200 rocks, including contributions from a local school classroom.
- Madison's family says the rocks bring her joy and inspiration during her cancer journey, and they are continuing to accept painted rock donations via a P.O. Box.
- Madison’s first surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, and the family appreciates the ongoing community support.
