This July, friends, partners, supporters of The Max Foundation and cancer patients will come together in Kota Kinabalu for a fundraising climb to conquer Mount Kinabalu.

The journey, also known as the Max Global Experience, was first inspired by cancer survivor Tony Leo.

Tony’s journey to the peak in 2007 unfortunately screeched to a grinding halt when he realised his body was struggling to keep up with the challenging mountain's terrain and he had to abandon the climb.
