Kindness Can Save Lives
The Nice Matters Foundation (NMF) was founded in 2021 following the loss of Meade Maxwell to testicular cancer. He was 25 years old. Our mission is to raise awareness about testicular cancer among men, fund new research, and directly support those afflicted by this daunting yet highly treatable disease.
Inspired by Meade’s motto of “nice matters,” we also want to spread kindness and encourage people of all genders to be kind and empathetic in their everyday lives. Whether it’s a small act like holding the door open for someone, or a bigger commitment like donating money or volunteering for an event in your community. Let’s spread love and do what we can to help others.
Who We Are
The Nice Matters Foundation (NMF) was created in 2021 to honor the life and legacy of Meade Maxwell, who passed away from testicular cancer at the age of 25. His kindness, spirit, and unwavering belief that “nice matters” continue to inspire everything we do.
Our Mission
We are committed to raising awareness about testicular cancer, funding vital research to improve treatments, and supporting those impacted by this daunting — yet highly treatable — disease. Through education, advocacy, and direct support initiatives, we work to make early detection and compassionate care more accessible for men everywhere.
Why Kindness Matters
At the core of our foundation is a simple but powerful belief: kindness can change lives. Inspired by Meade’s outlook, we encourage acts of empathy and generosity, big and small. From holding a door open to volunteering time or resources, every kind gesture creates a ripple effect of hope, healing, and connection in our communities.
