Supermodel Cindy Crawford raises funds for Madison's children's hospital

MADISON, Wis. — Supermodel Cindy Crawford made a special visit to Madison Friday, and it was personal for her family​.

UW Health Kids Pediatric Oncologist Dr. Paul Sondel has known Crawford and her family well for decades.

The friendship comes after an experimental leukemia treatment given by UW's American Family Children’s Hospital (rebranded as UW Health Kids) that was not enough to save Cindy's little brother, Jeff.

"In the 1970s, we didn't think a cure was necessarily attainable. Now, in 2021, 85% of children with cancer are being cured, and by cure we mean the cancer is going away and then comes back," Dr. Sondel said.
