Announcing the Max Global Experience – Mt. Kinabalu!

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!

    Un Paso Max: Going the Extra Mile in the Dominican Republic

    Un Paso Max, meaning “Un Paso Mas” (One More Step) is a fitting name for a group led by cancer survivors who are willing to take an extra step to help others. Un Paso Max is the name of the CML and GIST patient association in the Dominican Republic. One can trace the origins of this group to a small meeting in 2008. It only took a bit of encouragement and support on the part of The Max Foundation to unlock the passion of a handful of courageous survivors in Santo Domingo, and the seed of a patient association was planted.
