You might know Maximus as the silly little 7 year old that loves to play sports and Minecraft with friends. We know him as our superhero!! Maximus is a joyful, funny, energetic, and resilient kid who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes on September 1, 2025. He loves playing baseball and soccer, spending time with his friends and family, and experiencing the magic of Disney. He is doing great in school and approaches each day with determination and a bright spirit. Since his diagnosis, Maximus has shown incredible strength and bravery as he manages daily injections, monitors his blood sugars, and takes on challenges no child should have to face. We are fundraising to support Type 1 Diabetes research in hopes of finding a cure, so kids like Maximus can grow up without the constant burden of this disease. Please consider donating, sharing our page, or walking alongside us in this fight. Your support means hope, progress, and a future where Maximus and millions of others can live freely without Type 1 Diabetes.
Maximus's "Diadigits" since diagnosis:
# of insulin shots = 552
# Glucose monitor changes/injections = 15
# finger sticks = 150
