About Max
CA1D5FBA-25B2-4A4C-A4FF-2470109D7244_1_201_a_edited.jpg

At just 10 years old, Max faced an unimaginable challenge: a diagnosis of High Grade Glioma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. With a heart full of courage, Max battled this relentless disease for 26 months, showing a resilience that inspired everyone around him. Yet, even the strongest warriors sometimes face battles that cannot be won.​In Max's honor, the Max Pound Foundation was born with a singular mission: to reshape the future of pediatric brain cancer by championing research and driving advancements in treatments for children like Max.​We are profoundly grateful to our community for standing by our side—a powerful symbol of hope and unity in the fight against pediatric cancer.
