Mads’ Miracles was founded by Madeline Gross, a passionate fighter and healer. As a dedicated nurse in the pediatric oncology unit at Albany Medical Center, Madeline has devoted her career to caring for children during their cancer journeys, providing them with the courage and compassion they need to face such formidable challenges.
Â
In a profound and challenging twist of fate, Madeline began her own battle with cancer in March 2025. She has approached this journey with the same strength and resilience that she has inspired in countless young lives.
Â
In June 2025, Mads’ Miracles was established to extend this spirit of kindness to newly diagnosed patients and their families.
Â
Mads’ Miracles is dedicated to providing care, comfort, and distraction for both patients and their families throughout their cancer journeys.
