Social media influencer Madison Baloy, who rose to TikTok fame for sharing her battle with terminal cancer, has died at the age of 26.
Baloy, who had amassed more than 452,000 followers, fought stage four colon cancer after beginning to experience symptoms in 2022 and given five years to live in 2023, her family told People.
The content creator, who also taught kindergarten in Florida, inspired many with her straightforward videos where she lived life while staring her disease in the face.
“Hi, I’m Maddy, I’m 25 years old. I have stage four cancer and it is spreading all over my belly,” Baloy introduced herself in one video. “Come spend the day with me because I don’t know how many I’ll have left.”
