Our Lives Changed Forever On
May 2, 2007...
...It was the day we learned that our three year old son
Max was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of cancer.
The very next day was his fourth birthday. Dinner
conversations quickly changed from talking about school
and after school activities to oncology and
chemotherapy.
It was every parent’s worst nightmare come true. We knew
that we had to address this issue immediately, and
reprioritize every aspect of our lives. We also knew
that while doing our best to achieve that, we needed to
maintain a normal existence for Max and his younger
brother Alexander, who was almost two at the time.

Change Your Perspective On Life
In Less Than Eight Minutes?
There are no words to describe
what Max and children like him
go through when undergoing
chemotherapy and other forms of
treatment to battle cancer. The
effect it has on the child and
family is unimaginable. Unless
you have experienced it
firsthand, it may be difficult
to understand. To spread our
message of hope, our family made
a seven minute video that we'd
like to share with you and your
family.

2009 Roar For A Cure Carnival -
Success!
They closed the beaches in the
Hamptons the weekend of our
event because the tides were
high and the ocean was roaring.
However the sun was shining
despite Hurricane Bill. There
clearly was a stronger force
present - there always is. The
Roar For A Cure Carnival was
meant to be. The Carnival was a
huge success and the money
raised was beyond our
expectations. Thanks to all for
your support, donations and
generous contributions.

is filled with truth and
conviction, offering listeners
inspiration, hope and
encouragement. Plotkin's album,
The Journey, is beautifully
produced, having engaged some of
Nashville's top talent to assist
in weaving words around catchy
melodies that will embrace the

main-stream music stores today.

The Max Cure Foundation for Pediatric
Cancer Causes.
The Goal Of This Site
The goal of this site is to help families cope with the
unforeseen hurdles encountered during uncertain times.
Life can change in mysterious ways and present obstacles
that seem impossible to overcome. While searching for
answers to questions that we never thought we would ever
ask, we found strength each day as we gained knowledge.
It is important to remain focused, stay positive and
hopeful. We, as a family, have chosen to come together
and unite with others facing similar types of adversity.
With collective strength, courage and tenacity, we will
make Pediatric Cancer Research awareness more prominent
in the main-stream media.
