To honor a friend who was loved by all – Hampden Meade Maxwell.
I helped start the nice matters foundation to see my brother Hampden Meade Maxwell’s legacy live on. He would always remind me by saying “nice matters” but we also started this foundation to raise awareness about testicular cancer. Testicular cancer, although rare, it’s the most common cancer among men 15-32 years old. 96% of men will survive if the cancer is caught early. I believe through the power of awareness we can save lives and educate those who might not be aware of the disease and who it impacts. – Peter T Maxwell Jr.
Meade was a dear friend who meant so much to so many. The Nice Matters Foundation not only honors a legacy but strives to raise awareness in the fight against cancer. I support Nice Matters as it emulates the qualities of an extraordinary character and it inspires everyone to be unfailingly kind, a simple yet sometimes forgotten trait which can have the most meaningful impact. – Manny Counsman
The Nice Matters Foundation was created to keep Meade’s legacy and spirit alive. So many people considered Meade to be their best friend, which is enough to tell you how great of a person he was to be around. He was able to find a connection with just about anyone, which is what made him so special to so many, including myself. We created the Nice Matters Foundation to keep Meades spirit and legacy alive while working hard to create a world where no man has to suffer the way Meade did. – Laura Holmes
The Nice Matters Foundation means so much to me. We set this up in honor of our friend and brother Meade Maxwell, who was taken from us far too soon. Many young men don’t feel the need to raise concerns about their health, which is troubling to say to the least. The main goal of the Nice Matters foundation is to make sure that others don’t have to feel the pain we all did as a group by losing such a great friend. – Charlie Walker
I support the Nice Matters Foundation not only to promote awareness towards men’s health, but to honor the life of a great friend, Meade Maxwell. His legacy continues through his family, friends and the impact this foundation will bring others for years to come – Josh Gall
As a great friend and teacher to many, Meade taught those around him the importance of letting your character shine first. By supporting Nice Matters, you’re not only showing your commitment to men’s health and wellness, but you’re helping to solidify the legacy of a gifted person who always put others before himself. – Gerard Smith
To be friends with Meade was a gift that I’m forever grateful for. He was the perfect example of why “nice matters”; he made everyone who crossed paths with him feel immediately like to a friend. Wheather that be an 8-year old student or that students grandparent. Meade was always quick to share a laugh with anybody and everybody. His presence was always welcoming, caring and uplifting to everyone around him. The Nice Matters foundation strives to spread that motto far and wide while raising money for men’s health to avoid anybody else to have to suffer like Meade and his family & friends did. – Abigail Hackman
In September of 2020, we lost Hampden Meade Maxwell to testicular cancer. It was a devastating blow to everyone who knew him. He touched the lives of so many with his kind soul, and his easy going and fun loving personality. Meade meant so much to so many, that while many of us were heartbroken, we recognized a unique opportunity to make some good of this. Meade was the kind of guy who cared about those around him. His life was dedicated to making other people happy. We started the Nice Matters Foundation as a way of letting Meade’s legacy live on. And in doing so, we hope to honor him in raising awareness for this illness, and educate our community to ask questions, get checked, and live long, happy lives, as we would have wanted. – Peter Hoglund
