A Legacy Lives On Maddie had a giving spirit and her smile would light up the stands as a cheerleader. On the way home from an after-prom event, Maddie fell asleep at the wheel and hit a semi-tractor head on. In their time of tragedy, her family chose to donate so her legacy could live on. “Maddie’s gift will touch approximately 67 lives,” Jim Allmon shared of how his stepdaughter’s legacy lives on through eye and tissue donation. “Not long ago, we received a letter from Saving Sight that stated Maddie’s corneas were placed with a 5-year-old girl. Knowing Maddie’s giving spirit, I am sure she is smiling down on us every day because we allowed her to help that little girl.”
