Brayden fought and beat Neuroblastoma from July 2021 - September 2023. He is now fighting Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Diagnosed on July 3rd, 2024.
In June of this year, Marley spent an afternoon with friends celebrating a birthday at Urban Air. In the days and weeks following the party, certain aches and pains began that would later be identified as “the beginning.” As is often the case with the dreaded “C”, mysterious symptoms began to creep in. This eventually resulted in the discovery and removal of a mass on her upper spine that ultimately led to a diagnosis of cancer just three weeks ago. There are still so many unknowns, so many questions, so much to learn…yet, despite the loss she has experienced and the uncertainty and fear that accompany a cancer diagnosis, she remains fun-loving and positive…even though this is just the beginning of her journey.
Caring For A Cause, a Non Profit Organization in Henry County, strives to encourage the community to follow the greatest commandment Jesus gave us, to love one another. We aid in supporting families who are in need of emotional, tangible, informational, and companionship support through community events and fundraising campaigns. With a focus on those who have been faced with circumstances beyond their control, Caring For A Cause, stands beside families through their toughest times and assists in meeting the needs that arise from unforeseen events. All that Caring For A Cause is able to accomplish each time could not be done without the strong network of individuals and organizations that are willing to step in and provide assistance.
Caring For A Cause began in 2010 as just one mom, who overheard a story about her son’s classmate who was battling Stage 4 Neuroblastoma, wanting to aid support to a family in need. Nikki Rogers, director and founder of Caring For A Cause, quickly began to rally a team of people together in order to host an event to support the family in need. The decision was made to host a baseball tournament to honor and raise support for Maddie Briscoe’s family. A baseball tournament that Nikki dreamed would only have a couple of local teams and raise a couple thousand dollars, ultimately turned into more than 60 teams and raised over $27,000 dollars in support for the family.
The overwhelming involvement from the community gave Nikki the dream that this could be done again for more families in need. She has since set out to encourage our community to follow the greatest commandment Jesus ever gave us, to love one another; and has helped numerous local families raising over $4,000,000.
Here we are preparing for the 14th year of the very tournament that yielded our foundation. We are so thankful to our Lord for allowing us the opportunity to support the children in our community who have battled with childhood cancer. The Team Maddie Tournament is the largest of our events every year and always blesses families who are battling childhood cancer.
