Miles For Maddie Foundation Gives Back
Working To Create a Better Future for Youth in Memory of Madalyn Irene Chadbourn
About Us
On October 18th, 2023 Madalyn Chadbourn lost her life suddenly, at 15 years old due to poor medical care.
She had so much of her life ahead of her, so many milestones to reach and so many miles to travel reaching them. In just 2 months from her passing she was schedule to start Drivers Ed with one of her best friends, a milestone Maddie sadly did not get to experience. This was the next big moment for Maddie and she had dreamt of it for so long. She had talked about the car she wanted to drive (a white jeep), daydreamed about where she would go and planned what she would do with her closest friends when they got there. Maddie will no longer get to do the things she set out to do in her life, to reach the independence that she craved or to feel what it means to be 16. Maddie will never get to drive down a long stretch of open road into a beautiful sunset.
We have decided that if Maddie can't do these things, we would like to help to ensure that those youth approaching this same milestone, with specific barriers, do. In her name, we will be working to identify those youth through nomination and using funds raised to assist in reducing the financial barriers related to obtaining a driver's license in hopes that they can travel the miles Maddie once dreamed of traveling.
Any questions regarding nomination/ donations etc please contact us via email.

DONATIONS
Help us to help youth in need in Maddie's name
Please consider donating to Miles For Maddie to assist us with the continued support of youth's participation in Driver's education. This is in hopes of also ensuring that since Maddie can't drive the miles she dreamed of driving herself, those in need can for her.
NOMINATE
Complete this information in order to be considered for a Miles For Maddie Foundation Driver's Education Grant.
Please think donating to this unique cause if you can. There are little to no resources that focus on assisting with the cost of driver's education, which is a vital part of for many. All donations are appreciated and will be used to honor Maddie through supporting other teenagers in doing what she did not get to.
AT THIS TIME WE HAVE GOTTEN AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF NOMINATIONS AND DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO SUPPORT THIS LEVEL OF REQUEST. WE ARE WORKING TO GATHER FUNDS THROUGH FUNDRAISERS AND DONATIONS- PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING SO THAT WE CAN BEST MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR NOMINEES.
OUR BOURD MEETS 1-2X PER MONTH TO VOTE ON SUBMISSIONS - NOT ALL WILL BE ABLE TO BE ACCEPTED.
