It would have been easy for Maddie Dillon to give up when she was diagnosed with leukemia while in eighth grade. But with a little help from the Jimmy Fund, Dillon has been a fighter, and the 17-year-old now has her whole life ahead of her.

Dillon's story is an inspirational one, and one that her family is extremely proud of. Rather than letting her condition get to her, Dillon has continued to live life to the fullest. Don't expect her to stop doing so any time soon.

Check out the video above to hear Dillon's amazing story.
