- Society & Culture
A performer (actress, singer), leader, mentor, and community volunteer with her hands on a number of projects, Madeline is a joy to know. She loves gardening and The Sound of Music. Her friends describe her as "effervescent."
She's one of more than 600,000 Canadians living with family of diseases twice as common as Multiple Sclerosis that many doctors don't even believe in, despite a strong correlation to viral infections. She and others face painful deterioration without more government supports, with still untold numbers of COVID-19 survivors joining them.

Infection Red Alert + my eyes are full of blossoms
Quickie update about the very dangerous cellulitis infection that's making my bad situation worse. Doing my best to keep my head up and keep my sense of humor afloat. Not sure if I should post a picture of it cuz it's really yucky so I don't know... Blech. Instead I'll post a picture of the blossoms that are helping me navigate the panic that's curling around the edges of my thoughts. I know exactly how bad infections can get in my broken immune system
