John Foy & Associates has named Madilyn Abor as the recipient of the 2025 Strong Arm Leukemia Scholarship. The $1,000 award will support Abor's final semester at Baylor University, where she is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Public Health. The scholarship recognizes Abor's remarkable recovery from acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) diagnosed at age 9, and her dedication to helping other children facing similar battles.
Abor's essay for the scholarship detailed her intense treatment, which included septic shock, organ failure, and blood clots around her heart. Despite these challenges, she recovered and now aims to become a pediatric oncology physician assistant. She currently works as a camp counselor with Camp John Mark, supporting children with serious illnesses. The legal team at John Foy & Associates was moved by her story and hopes the scholarship eases her final semester expenses.
The 2026 Strong Arm Leukemia Scholarship application details, including updated criteria and deadlines, are available for students interested in applying. John Foy & Associates, known as "The Strong Arm," has served the Atlanta legal community for over 25 years, focusing on personal injury cases such as motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, and wrongful death. The firm emphasizes fighting for maximum compensation against insurance companies.
Abor's story underscores the impact of survivorship and the importance of supporting pediatric cancer research and care. Her journey from patient to future healthcare provider exemplifies resilience and a commitment to giving back.
