Parent Testimonials
“MaxLove Project educated us about lifestyle and health that have greatly enhanced our daughter’s quality of life. At the Fierce Foods Academy, parents and children learn about the importance of whole food nutrition, physical activity, mindfulness and sleep quality as we practice our culinary skills. Through these events we have been empowered in our home kitchen to cook with nutrient dense ingredients and we have gained a community of like minded advocates for children’s health. ”
— Mother, 41, child with leukemia
“Maxlove is an amazing organization. I honestly can say that I would have been completely lost in this cancer world without them. Audra and Justin are incredible people who make you feel like you are the only one in the room when they are with you. They are so loving, kind, and genuine. They made me feel like it was going to be okay in a time when my world was crashing around me as my three-year-old child was diagnosed with cancer. If I had a question, a worry, a need to just vent, they were there. I have gained a wealth of information from them and their followers from every corner of cancer that you can imagine. I don’t feel alone. I am so happy to be a part of the Maxlove cancer family. Crazy to say “happy” in the same sentence as cancer, but it is true when Maxlove is part of that sentence. I am and will forever be indebted to them.”
— Mother, 41, child with Wilms tumor
“MaxLove Project is very dear and near to my family’s heart because it gives kids like our daughter the opportunity to thrive and defy against the odds despite having cancer with science based diet and nutrition. This is one of the very few organizations that I have found that actually is trying to change the odds for our kids facing cancer with natural therapeutic treatments and have made huge strides in how hospitals look at nutrition. We are truly grateful for MaxLove and the commitments they provide to our children!”
— Mother, 35, child with leukemia
“Through our cancer journey we found Maxlove project and started to really get serious about what we were eating. Through the Fierce Foods Academies our son has opened his eyes to a whole new world of food and information about why what we eat is so important to his health as well as our whole family. Maxlove has changed the way we eat and has become our extended family.”
— Mother, 41, child with leukemia
“Without MaxLove Project’s knowledge, grace and guidance our family wouldn’t be where we are nutritionally. They have more knowledge than I could ever fathom knowing, they are complete powerhouses!! ”
— Mother, 37, Hodgkin's lymphoma
“As parents we would do ANYTHING to take our child’s pain or discomfort or sadness away. The Ohana Project gives parents tangible things to do to help our children thrive during treatment and beyond. They connect parents and children going through a similar journey and provide them with evidence-based research, cooking classes, acupuncture, and social support through those new family connections. It is such an impactful and life changing organization that I feel provides the missing link in healthcare”

“The knowledge and support I get from MaxLove are irreplaceable.”
