Max’s Cast For A Cure Foundation

2022 WAS THE BEGINNING OF MAX’S CAST FOR A CURE. AS WE LOST OUR BEAUTIFUL BOY IN MAY OF 2021.

We began Max’s Cast for a Cure Fishing Competition as a perfect way to honour Max’s life. He was such a smart and happy boy, he was always eager to get out on the boat and was determined to catch a bigger fish than dad. As Charlie Teo brought many more years of fishing and laughter to our little boy’s life, we thought this would be the best way to honour. Max’s life and to raise awareness of childhood brain cancer.

At 19 months Max was diagnosed with a brain tumour that attached to the base of the brain stem called Anaplastic Ependymoma. After the first surgery not all of the tumour was removed. We then received the unfortunate news that even after chemo and radiation, they wouldnt be able to remove all of the tumour. After receiving this news, we decided to reach out to Professor Charlie Teo. Charlie then performed a miracle procedure that gave Max another 4 years with 3 of them in perfect health to fish and laugh with his friends and family.
