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!

It was an amazing 24 hours! To celebrate Max’s birthday anniversary, we went around the world through Facebook Live to visit each regional office, meet special friends, and learn how each of us contributes to caring and supporting people facing cancer. Never before has our team felt so close and united. Watch each of the….
In Latin America, the Maximize Life Campaign has become something like a tradition – a time when each patient organization creates an event or activity of their choice and powers it up for a campaign that takes on a life of its own!
13 patient groups from 11 Latin American countries joined this year’s movement, bringing together patients and caregivers with the purpose of telling the community that cancer is an issue, that ignoring it is not going to make it go away, and that the best approach is to learn about it in order to know what to do about it. From governments to the general public, everybody can get involved in figuring out how to treat cancer patients as members of society and not as a burden.
At The Max Foundation, we believe in the power of individuals to make a difference, especially when it comes to health equity. Over the years, we’ve been privileged to work alongside some amazing people in both the public and private sectors – people who have moved mountains to help patients around the world face cancer with dignity and hope. We also believe in working closely with organizations whose mission and values align with our own.
