Join us this summer in Malaysia! In July 2017, a team of partners, cancer survivors, and friends like you will join us from the USA, Malaysia, and beyond to embark on an adventure with a common goal: raising funds to carry out our work supporting cancer patients in Malaysia. Along the way, we’ll meet with patients, learn about The Max Foundation’s work in the Asia Pacific region, and climb Mt. Kinabalu.
Will you join us? Learn more about this exciting and meaningful adventure.
This Max Global Experience was inspired by our friend Tony Leo’s cancer journey. Tony first realized that something was wrong with his health 10 years ago as he attempted to climb Mt. Kinabalu, but was forced to turn back before reaching the summit.
Today, we’re glad to see Tony living well with cancer thanks to the treatment and support he receives through The Max Foundation. In 2017, we look forward to conquering Mt. Kinabalu by his side! Do you want to climb with us? Whether you’re an adventure-seeking mountaineer or prefer to stay closer to sea level, you can join us this summer, and give dignity and hope to people in Malaysia facing cancer by raising funds for their support. We look forward to bringing new and old friends closer to our work through this once in a lifetime experience – contact us today for more information on how to join us this July!

I have learned that the pain in the heart and soul is deep and will always be there. The ‘bucket’ has a hole, and even when you dedicate every day of your life to making sure other families don’t have to live with this pain, the bucket will never be filled. I have also learned….
The Max Foundation’s new headquarters is still buzzing with all the great energy that filled our offices thanks to new and old friends that attended our recent Open House on April 9th. We welcomed our Seattle community to join us on what we called our world tour. Visitors were invited to move from region to region in order to learn about our work in Asia Pacific, Africa, Latin America and, of course, North America.
