Maximilian’s Fundraiser – GRIA4: DONATE
Meet Maximilian, a spirited 14-year-old with a big heart and a vibrant personality. Diagnosed in 2017 with a de novo variant of the GRIA4 gene, Max faces significant challenges every day. He lives with epilepsy and is at risk of dangerously long seizures, has an intellectual disability, and is mostly non-verbal.
Max depends on full-time support for all aspects of daily life, including eating, dressing, personal care, and staying safe. As he continues to grow into a big, strong teenager, his behavioral and support challenges continue to evolve.
But spend time with Max, and you’ll quickly see his incredible character shine. He is affectionate, determined, and full of life. Max loves music, dancing, and playing outside, finding pure joy in movement and connection. He shows remarkable resilience every day, reminding everyone around him that he is a loving, strong, and unforgettable young man.
