To say it's been a rough year for Maddie Cronin might be a big understatement. This 19-year-old college student is back home with mom and dad but not by choice. She had to drop out following complications with mononucleosis and hasn't had much energy due to the illness.

When we showed up to surprise her with a Sparkt Cake Walk, she told me all about it with her mom, Michelle, from their home in Monaca, PA:

Michelle and Dan Cronin nominated Maddie in the hopes something special, like that delicious Oakmont Bakery cake, will help restore her spirits and cheer her up as her health improves.

Get well soon Maddie!
