John Foy & Associates has announced Madilyn Abor as the recipient of the 2025 Strong Arm Leukemia Scholarship, awarding $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, organ failure, and blood clots around her heart. Despite these challenges, she recovered and now dedicates herself to helping children with leukemia and other serious conditions.
In her scholarship essay, Abor detailed her physical suffering, survivor's guilt, and determination to serve as a beacon for children facing similar battles. She emphasized that her experience inspired her to pursue a career as a pediatric oncology physician assistant. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health, she plans to gain experience as a medical assistant before entering a physician assistant program. Abor has already begun working toward this goal as a camp counselor at Camp John Mark, where she supports children with serious illnesses.
The legal team at John Foy & Associates was deeply moved by Abor's story and hopes the scholarship will ease her final semester. The firm, known as "The Strong Arm," has served the Atlanta community for over 25 years, specializing in personal injury cases involving motor vehicle accidents, truck accidents, workplace injuries, wrongful deaths, premise liability, and social security disability. They are committed to fighting large insurance companies to secure maximum settlements for clients.
Students interested in applying for the 2026 Strong Arm Leukemia Scholarship can review the terms and conditions on the scholarship page for updated qualifying criteria and submission deadlines. The firm continues to offer free personal injury case evaluations for those in need of legal representation.
