A Cycle of Hope: Inspiring Change with the Maddog Strong Foundation

09/09/24 • 34 min

We are joined by Dr. Cyndi Grobmeier, the president of the Maddog Strong Foundation. The Maddog Strong Foundation was created in the spirit of Maddie “Maddog” Grobmeier who passed away unexpectedly from an asthma attack the day after her 18th birthday. Maddie inspired many by donating her organs and tissues so that others could live on to do amazing things for the world.
The mission of the Maddog Strong Foundation is to inspire the next generation of organ and tissue donation advocates by providing education, promoting donor registration, and encouraging conversations about this life-saving topic.
