Community Works to Make Stoughton Girl's 'One Direction' Wish a Reality

A group of citizens is trying to make a Stoughton girl’s wish of meeting the band One Direction come true.

Madison Bergstrom, a 6-year-old girl from Stoughton currently battling cancer, originally had tickets to see the band this weekend at Gillette Stadium but is now unable to go due to treatment, according to a Facebook page organized in support of Bergstrom, who is a native of Stoughton, according to Boston.com.

The page, dubbed “Ask One Direction to Visit Madi,” was set up to gain support and requests for the band to visit Bergstrom at the hospital. As of Friday, the family had not heard from the band, according to a recent post.

However, a radio station DJ from the area was able to bring Bergstrom a Boston Red Sox Jersey signed by all five members of the band, according to WHDH.

As of Friday, the Facebook page had gained more than 11,300 followers. Supporters are asked to like the page and also Tweet using the hashtag #1DtoMadi to support the cause, according to WHDH.
