Staying Alive Foundation Founders
Max Dagenais
Max is the founder of the Staying Alive Foundation. Max is an IT expert having setup and operated an IT/Internet Marketing business for the past 15 years with passion of creating brands and automation.
Health and wellness have always been a very important part of his day-to-day life, as well as teaching and sharing such wellness as breathwork, yoga, mindfulness and massages to help the whole holistic body, mind and soul to be and stay healthy.
Max is now going one step further in the wellness space by raising awareness and education in communities around Australia about saving a life in case of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) out-of-hospital. Unfortunately, most communities are reactive instead of being proactive in such emergency and often only depending on emergency services instead of being ready themselves.
