The mission of MaxLove Project’s “Thrive Against Cancer” initiative is to increase the quality of life and reduce health risks for families surviving childhood cancer, related pediatric rare diseases, and chronic hospitalizations.

We support families with evidence-based culinary medicine, whole-body wellness, emotional health, therapeutic social support, and expert-designed educational resources. Our programs are available nationwide online through our private app platform and also in-person at our locations in California & Georgia.

MaxLove Project is — literally — an active collection of high-impact projects. We are not a static “foundation” but a dynamic innovator for positive change in pediatric healthcare with a specific focus on childhood cancer and related life-threatening illnesses.

Our projects are all based on our foundational BE SUPER 7-Point Action Plan and include complex health behavior interventions, such as kid-friendly cooking classes, moderated peer support, tangible quality-of-life educational resources, and funding research that focuses on how families can help their kids heal and thrive through daily actions that benefit their health.

Wellness matters.

MaxLove Project equips families to thrive within the pediatric healthcare system of today — where the standard of care for most life-limiting illnesses does not include essential integrative therapies — as we work to change the system of tomorrow.

We do this through our support our innovative culinary medicine programs, pioneering family-centered initiatives, easy-to-understand health education, and support for complementary and preventive therapies in healthcare settings.

Each of these initiatives aims to improve quality of life and reduce health risks for hospitalized kids, childhood cancer patients, survivors, and their families. We are a community of dedicated change-makers who believe in the power of integrative healthcare for all children.
