We Are Not Here Just to Live—We Are Here to Thrive

Max Merget’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Diagnosed at age 3 with stage-four brain cancer occupying two-thirds of his head, Max faced a battle that most could never imagine. The tumor, the size of a grapefruit, was removed through surgery, followed by grueling rounds of chemotherapy.


By age 4, the cancer returned, requiring another surgery and rounds of radiation therapy. At 7 years old, a third recurrence meant yet another surgery. Despite these challenges, Max continued to defy the odds, showing an unshakable spirit and determination.


After a decade cancer-free, Max’s resilience was tested again at age 17. His neurosurgeon delivered the news: “Max, your cancer is back... but we have options this time.” This time, rather than traditional surgery, Max underwent a groundbreaking treatment called Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS), a noninvasive and advanced form of radiation therapy. This moment underscored a new truth—while cancer may return, so does progress in medical innovation.


Max’s personal experience with recurrence and advancements in treatment ignited a mission: to create MaxYourBrain. Having survived five recurrences of brain cancer, Max considers himself incredibly fortunate. Through MaxYourBrain, he and the team are dedicated to raising awareness, funding cutting-edge research, and supporting brain cancer patients in their fight for a brighter future.
