Max Appeal was founded by parents of children diagnosed with 22q11/DiGeorge Syndrome/VCFS (remove 22q11 deletion syndrome). We are a small national charity, run almost exclusively by a group of dedicated volunteers backed up with a knowledgeable panel of medical professionals. Max, who was the inspiration for our beginning had a short life but Max Appeal is a charity with a vibrant life of its own
