Kicking Chronic Migraine — Miles for Migraine 2026
It has now been more than three years since Madaline’s headache began.For more than three years, she has woken up with a headache, gone to school with a headache, tried to play sports with a headache, and gone to bed with a headache.
There have been countless doctor appointments, medications, procedures, hospital stays, missed activities, and days when the pain and nausea have simply been too much.
But there has also been three years of Madaline continuing to show up. Going to school. Spending time with her friends. Trying to get back on the field. And continuing to do the things she loves even when her body makes them incredibly difficult. That’s why her Miles for Migraine team is called Kicking Chronic Migraine.
Migraine is not “just a headache.” It is a complex neurological disease that can affect nearly every part of a person’s life.
About 1 in 6 U.S. adults is affected by migraine or severe headache.
Women are affected at roughly twice the rate of men.
Yet migraine research receives only about 0.1% of the NIH’s overall budget.
This year, Madaline has started at team, Kicking Chronic Migraine to raise money for Miles for Migraine and support research, education, advocacy, and better treatment for people living with this disease.
We would love for you to join her team, make a donation, or share Madaline’s page. Every step, every donation, and every share helps bring more attention and resources to a disease that affects millions.
After more than three years, we are still hoping for the day when Madaline wakes up and her head doesn’t hurt.Until then, we’ll keep Kicking Chronic Migraine
