Mad Max Foundation Corp

We are here to relaunch the Mad Max Foundation — and now, more than ever, we need your help!

Our story begins with a remarkable little boy named Maximuus, or Max for short. Born with a rare genetic mutation known as SCN8A, Max faced significant challenges, including epilepsy, developmental delays, cognitive impairment, autism spectrum disorder, and movement disorders. Despite these obstacles—and over 40 hospitalizations in his short 10 years—Max lived with a strength and joy that inspired everyone who knew him.

In May of this year, our beloved Max passed away. Losing him has been the most devastating experience of our lives. His absence is felt in every moment, and rising each day without him is an act of courage. But even through our grief, we hold onto his light. It is that light—his fierce spirit, his resilience, his love—that fuels our determination to bring the Mad Max Foundation to life again.

Navigating the complex world of rare medical conditions and special needs was a profound journey for our family. The challenges we faced, and the community that helped us through them, showed us how deeply families caring for medically vulnerable children need support, resources, and understanding. The foundation is our way of honoring Max by continuing the fight he never chose but faced so bravely.

To relaunch our mission, we need your help. Your generous donation will help us continue this important work and bring our goals to life.

Together, we can carry Max’s spirit forward and make a difference for families facing the unimaginable.

Thank you for helping us rise, rebuild, and honor Max’s legacy.
