The Maximize Life Movement

For more than ten years, The Max Foundation has focused on improving access to treatment and developing local resources for people newly diagnosed with CML, and other blood and rare cancers. As such, we have been privileged to be a part of the journey of thousands of cancer survivors around the world.

We have witnessed firsthand the transformation among people whose lives have been touched by cancer and who found personal support in their community. These cancer survivors, including all of us loved ones, live with passion and courage, and most often give back to their communities.

Beyond the individual transformation is the group transformation seen through the creation of vibrant patient associations, a novelty in many countries around the world.

The Maximize Life Movement is our attempt to capture this life-changing phenomenon operating all over the world. Maximize Life is inspired by and representative of survivors and supporters alike who live with cancer, live with courage and intentionally give back to our world.

People in this movement rise above the challenge of a cancer diagnosis and choose to maximize their lives!

Maximize Life logo: Created by a graphic artist and CML survivor from Malaysia who, in his words, “feels proud he was given the opportunity to design this meaningful logo because he enjoys and maximizes his life everyday with Max's spirit.” The artist’s personal interpretation of the movement’s logo is explained within the image.
