On this day, Maxx Martin succumbed to breast cancer. She was a dear friend and an important part of the Hard Candy Calendar project.

I met Maxx in 2008 when she volunteered for the 2009 Hard Candy Calendar. Not really knowing her that well, I gave her the icon Muhammad Ali as inspiration. I had no idea how much of a fighter she was.  I called her The Champ for her photoshoot and that is who she’ll always be for me.  She continuously expressed a desire to come out and do another shoot for this year’s calendar no matter how poorly she felt. Always ready and willing to be there and help us out as an organization and as personal friends, she will live on in our hearts and minds.

It is because of her and people like her that this project exists. The promotion of pink products and p.s.a’s and such is over but the fight continues on.
