Faith Over Fear

Manda’s Story

Manda Maxwell is the reason behind the Manda Strong Foundation. Manda first had cancer at the age of five and was in remission until it resurfaced again at age 28. Manda made the brave choice to have one of her legs amputated and continued chemotherapy for the next year in order to completely eradicate the cancer from her body. Five years later, the cancer returned for the third time. Manda fought the disease with all her might and a strength that could only come from God. At 35, Manda, beloved wife and mother of two, passed away on February 26, 2017, in Dallas, Texas, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Learn more about how Manda’s legacy impacts Manda Strong Moms today.

Cindy & Ed have been such a blessing to our family. From our first phone call when we bonded over the similarities between Manda and I, to the sweet care package, and the constant check ins from Cindy. If you are looking for a cause to support that truly makes a difference, please donate to Manda Strong! This week was so magical and for once our girls got to focus on the magic of Disney and not worry about mommy! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
