Max Cure Foundation - For the past decade Dr. O’Reilly has been researching the use of alternative strategies to fight cancer. The alternative strategy has proven to work in other forms of cancer but he does not have the funds to build a lab and test it for lymphoma as well as other rare cancers. The goal is to raise $5.0 million dollars for this project.
