Max's Ring of Fire supports the Neuroblastoma and Medulloblastoma Translational Research Consortium or NMTRC.

Based in Vermont but with core sites in San Diego, St. Louis, and Houston, this pediatric oncology research and translational medicine program's mission is to provide children with more precise, predictive approaches to treating advanced neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma.

An ongoing inspiration for many people, Max was born on June 30, 2001. He was diagnosed with stage IV, high-risk neuroblastoma in October 2004. He whizzed through frontline treatment and by the following summer was effectively on the road back to a "normal" life - albeit with almost total hearing loss, a new immune system, and about 10lbs to gain back, all courtesy of Mr. Chemo.

Unfortunately, Max relapsed (as most high-risk NB patients do) in November 2006. Max fought bravely, entering a clinical trial in Vermont where he received nifurtimox in combination with other chemo agents. This combination diminished the disease until there was just one tiny spot still evident on his spine. But in February 2008 the beast came roaring back and we could never control it again, despite everything we tried. Max passed away on August 31, 2008 at 8:45pm in his mommy and daddy's bed.

Touch A Truck San Diego is roaring back in 2012 for it’s 4th year, and this year we’re planning a bigger, badder and louder experience for kids of all ages!

This childhood cancer fundraiser that has rocked San Diego is currently looking for a new venue - we've outgrown our old one! Stay tuned for more information by signing up to receive updates on where and when Touch A Truck San Diego will be held! As always, all the money raised goes to fund innovative childhood cancer research and clinical trials. You don’t want to miss this!

About Touch A Truck San Diego 2011

In only it's third year, Touch A Truck attendance has grown tremendously, and this June 4, we welcomed 4,637 guests to climb on, climb in, and honk the horns of hot rods, construction vehicles, public safety, military, and many other cool and special vehicles. In addition, three bands played, five food trucks fed, and three lemonade & one coffee stand quenched the masses.

Also this year, we stepped out into new territory and invited a few friends to join us:Alex's Lemonade Stand, a national childhood cancer foundation that raises millions each year, and Erin's Dream Lanyards. The reason to invite other childhood cancer foundations and fundraising efforts is simple: we (meaning the childhood cancer community) need to start working together. Touch A Truck is quickly becoming a festival of sorts, and there is plenty of room at Max's table for other childhood cancer organizations to join us at this event. Next year, we're going to try to bring even more childhood cancer organizations to Touch A Truck - in order to maximize awareness and giving... this should be exciting so stay tuned!

In all, we brought in $46,000* - all of which will go to childhood cancer research and treatments at the NMTRC.

Thanks to our 2011 sponsors, let them know you appreciate their support of Touch A Truck by supporting them. Don't see your name there but would like to? Here's more information on Sponsorships.
