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!

For the 20th anniversary of World Cancer Day, we asked our global team members, physicians, patients, caregivers, and advocates to share what progress in cancer care means to them. Progress means all cancer patients get the treatment they deserve.[/e World Cancer Day, celebrated on February 4, is a global initiative that aims to raise awareness….
The anniversary of someone’s death is always difficult. Just as we recently remembered Max’s passing, we also hold the others who have passed too soon. Below, Beena shares a remembrance of our dear Jaya, who was a committed team member and played that role of a patient advocate amazingly well until she so sadly lost her battle….
I have never climbed a mountain before so one might ask why. The truth is that we have been in this life journey together, those we call patients and those we call advocates, for more than a decade; and the reality is that we are one, united by a deep bond of love, and together we will conquer Mt Kinabalu.
