My Story

Maxime was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma, a type of brain cancer, in 2018. He’s fought hard which earned him the name ‘Mighty Maxime’ and has undergone multiple brain surgeries, chemo, and radiation. In February 2023, Max took a turn for the worse when scans showed the cancer had spread throughout his brain and spinal cord at which point he started hospice care. Family is focused on keeping him comfortable and surrounded by family and friends. Thank you for supporting me and the more than 300,000 kids worldwide who will be diagnosed with cancer this year. By sharing the gifts of your time, talent and money with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, you're supporting research to give all kids with cancer a better chance for a cure.
