About Us

Maddie Riewoldt was just 26 when she died from Bone Marrow Failure. The Riewoldt family established Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision in 2015 to honour her legacy by funding research into improved treatments and, ultimately, a cure for Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome (BMFS).

We’ve raised nearly $10m so far, and we’re supporting 26 innovative medical research projects. Read more about our work here.

Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision aims to raise funds to #FightlikeMaddie and find new treatments for Bone Marrow Failure.

We have established signature fundraising events including Maddie’s Match, Ride For Maddie and the Bloody Good Dinner.
