They’re patients, physicians, pharmacists, police officers, caregivers, and cancer care advocates stepping up to help vulnerable patients continue to have access to treatment throughout the global pandemic closures.
Be Among the First to Tour Our New Website!
Welcome to our new website!
At The Max Foundation, we have declared 2016 as the year we ‘leap forward for impact’. With that in mind, our first milestone is the launch of our brand new website. Redesigning our website has been both a strategic and soul-searching exercise that we have done all for you. We see our website as a platform for you to engage with us as partners in our mission.
We can’t wait for you to see the website for yourself: Explore Our New Website.
These new features were designed especially for you…
- If you look at only one feature in the entire website, we hope it will be our interactive global map. Our map is the backbone of the site and shows the breadth of our collective impact.
- We tell you WHY we need you to join with us by sharing statistics on how people living with cancer in low-and middle-income countries are disproportionately impacted by the global cancer epidemic.
- We share WHAT we are doing with your support to help people facing cancer around the world; from treatment access to education to advocacy.
- We show you WHERE your collaboration is already making a difference within our regional pages: Africa & Middle East, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and South Asia.
- And we invite you to Get Involved in our efforts to improve global access to cancer treatment, care and support by creating your own fundraiser, joining Chai for Cancer and giving to The Max Foundation.
This is your website, just as much as it is ours. It is for your friends and ours, all of whom are touched by cancer. The Max Foundation’s website will be growing, evolving and getting stronger all the time. We hope you will bookmark the site so you can visit often. Enjoy your website tour!

The Maximize Life Campaign: Asia Pacific Region Patient Groups Are Telling Their Stories.
Nothing is more powerful than storytelling, especially when it’s told from a person’s first-hand experience.
In the Asia Pacific region, we are often known as “shy” community. We do not often share our stories publicly, especially a story about cancer diagnosis. We often have no one to turn to because we do not want our parents to worry; we do not want our children to feel the burden; we do not want to tell our neighbors who might be starting to avoid us because we are diagnosed with cancer.
Light a Candle on March 9th to Honor Max
March 9th marks a somber anniversary; the day Max lost his 3 year battle with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). For those of us who love Max, who either knew him then or who know and love him now, this will always be a day of sorrow. The words that come to mind are words such as ugly, unfair, impossible, and the feeling is one of emptiness; a whole in one’s heart. Max was a real person, a beautiful young child, whose encounter with cancer was nothing but a tragic episode.
