For Maximus Building Supply, the fight against childhood cancer is personal. đź’›
Carson Elizabeth Head is the youngest daughter of Michael and Paula Head and sister to Chandler and Cameron. Michael is one of the owners of Maximus, but long before St. Jude became such an important part of who we are as a company, it became an important part of the Head family’s story.
Carson was diagnosed with osteosarcoma on March 7, 2014, the day before her 8th birthday. For the next 16 months, their family experienced firsthand the extraordinary care, compassion and determination of the doctors, nurses and staff at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Carson was so much more than her diagnosis. She was a bright, spunky little girl who loved arts and crafts, playing Uno, spending time with her puppy, climbing trees and being outdoors. Her family called her their “Princess Warrior,” and she faced an unimaginable battle with incredible courage and strength.
Carson passed away at just 9 years old.
Her story did not end there.
The Head family has made it their mission to keep Carson’s memory alive and help other families facing childhood cancer through Team Carson Elizabeth, which has now raised more than $1.4 million for St. Jude.
Carson’s story is also at the heart of why Maximus continues to support St. Jude through the Dream Home Giveaway, our Childhood Cancer Awareness Month house wrap campaign and so many other efforts.
During Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we remember Carson. We honor Michael, Paula, Chandler, and Cameron. And we remember every family still waiting and hoping for a cure.
Because the 1 in 5 matters. đź’›
