John Foy & Associates has announced Madilyn Abor as the recipient of the 2025 Strong Arm Leukemia Scholarship, awarding her $1,000 to support her final semester at Baylor University. Abor, who was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia at age 9, endured intensive treatment that led to septic shock and organ failure, but she ultimately recovered. Her experience inspired her to pursue a career as a pediatric oncology physician assistant, with plans to enter a PA program after working as a medical assistant.
In her scholarship essay, Abor detailed her physical suffering and survivor's guilt, emphasizing her desire to help children facing similar battles. She wrote, "I want to stand beside children who need someone to help them see their own strength, and to ensure they know their battles do not define them." Abor has already begun this work as a camp counselor with Camp John Mark.
The legal team at John Foy & Associates expressed being deeply moved by Abor's story. The firm hopes the financial support will ease her final semester.
