Terminally Ill Teen Wants Your Christmas Cards
You can help brighten the final days of 14-year-old Maddox Hyde.
PITTSBURGH, PA - A terminally ill teen who has been treated at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh has one wish for what likely will be his last holiday season. He wants you to send him a Christmas card.
Maddox Hyde, 14, has stopped treatments for neuroblastoma so he can spend his final days or weeks at home in DuBois, Clearfield County. According to the Centre Daily Times, Hyde started battling cancer about eight years ago, when a tumor the size of a grapefruit was found on an adrenal gland.
He was in remission until an inoperable tumor was discovered on his right hip.
