Max was diagnosed with cancer when he was just five years old after experiencing nausea and flu-like symptoms. Since then, his journey has been filled with incredible bravery and resilience. Max has undergone four surgeries, completed five rounds of radiation, and is currently receiving his final treatment. He’s also endured countless MRIs, which he faces with courage despite being very scared of needles and hesitant to trust that people will be gentle.
Max’s diagnosis has profoundly impacted his family, who now cherish every single moment together while grieving for the life they imagined for him.
Max is an inspiring, positive, and intuitive boy who greets each day with energy and determination, even when things are tough. He loves building Legos and creating art, which allows him to express himself with confidence. Max has a special love for pandas, and his stuffed panda—his loyal companion since birth—accompanies him to every treatment and appointment, offering him comfort and strength.
After two years of stability, Max’s cancer has become more aggressive, but his incredible spirit shines brightly through every challenge. Max is a true fighter and an inspiration to everyone who meets him.
