Mainova AG has been supporting the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer since 2004: The Dr Petra Joh Research Centre was built on land provided by Mainova through a hereditary lease and was extended with an annex in 2014.

The new CEO of Mainova, Dr Michael Maxelon, and the co-founder and CEO of the foundation, Dr Jürgen Vogt, are in agreement: the desire to support regional charitable activities and to drive forward research into new treatment therapies for the benefit of children and young people with cancer are a perfect match.

Dr Michael Maxelon paid tribute to the work of the foundation with the words: “A milestone birthday that gives hope and courage to seriously ill children: for 30 years, the employees of the Frankfurt foundation have been working to improve the treatment and quality of life of children and young people with cancer – and very successfully so. Around 80 per cent of young patients in Germany now recover. To ensure that even more young people benefit from this, we will continue to support this commitment in the future.

The partnership with Mainova AG is of great importance for the Foundation’s future work. It forms the basis for our goal of being able to cure all children and young people suffering from cancer in the future. A big THANK YOU for this long-term commitment.
