On May 2, 2015, Max went to the doctors to figure out why he had some bruises that were hard to explain. His pediatrician said he needed to go to the hospital to figure out how to help Max feel better. When Max got to the hospital he found out he needed to have surgery to install his "Ironman Port" - a tube that lets the doctors give Max the medicine he needs to feel better. The surgeons made the tube look just like an ARC Reactor - the thing in Ironman's chest that gives him power.

When Max woke up from surgery he became IronMax.

IronMax was quickly called into action against a sinister villain named Sneaky Leu, aka Leukemia (ALL), who hides little germs in the blood. The doctors and nurses will give IronMax the power to defeat the germs by using his Ironman Port. The battle will be epic. IronMax is ready.

I'm holding a fundraiser to help Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation move one step closer to finding a cure for Iron Max and all children with cancer! Join our team, donate, or have family and friends sponsor your miles. The money you raise will pay for research to find better treatments and cures for childhood cancer. Please help kids like Max and their families by providing desperately needed hope! Thanks for your support!
