How does a 10 year old react to being told he has cancer?

13 year old Max Levine, during treatment for advanced, recurring neuroblastoma,  a childhood cancer. Matt Schechter and Max Levine.In April 2008, at the age of 17, Max passed away at home, surrounded by family and his beloved kitties.

In Max’s memory, we created the Max Levine Fund for Neuroblastoma Research through ALSF. Who better than ALSF to help us find the most cutting edge research into treatments and cures for the disease that took Max, and Alex Scott from us. When his best friend Matt Schechter passed away from leukemia in March 2010, we expanded the mission of the fund to include all high-risk pediatric cancers, and renamed it the M&M Fund.

Please join us in this fight. You can donate to the M&M Fund for High Risk Pediatric Cancer Research. Your donation will go directly to the battle against pediatric cancer through Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.
