Madison Russo, 19, has been charged with theft for the alleged ruse, which raked in more than $37,000 from hundreds of GoFundMe donors.
An Iowa woman who claimed to have been diagnosed with cancer — documenting her medical journey on TikTok and raising thousands on GoFundMe — was actually faking the whole thing, according to police.
The young woman claimed she"suffered acute lymphoblastic leukemia, stage 2 pancreatic cancer, and a tumor the size of a football, that wrapped around her spine," the Eldridge Police Department said in a news release. Her medical records, which were obtained by subpoena during the investigation, showed that she"had never been diagnosed with any kind of cancer or tumor" at any medical facility in the area, police said.
"At 19 years old, I don’t know if I will live to see the day I graduate from college, get married, or become a mom," she told her local newspaper."In the meantime, I will fight.”
