Orange County (KNX) - A few months after Audra DiPadova Wilford's young son was diagnosed with cancer in 2011, she and her husband started the MaxLove Project to give hope to families dealing with the heart-wrenching news of a cancer diagnosis.

What began as a local, grass-roots project has grown into a full-support, global organization that helps families with mental wellness, evidence-based integrative health, and culinary medicine.

Full support from MaxLove includes various things, from cooking classes to acupuncture services, at their office in Orange, CA.

Through these services, Audra and her team hope to continue proving that with the proper support, you can thrive in the face of cancer.

As a result of the success MaxLove has seen in California, they have been able to expand physically, adding a second location in Savannah, Georgia.
