Welcome to the MAP Foundation

In 2002, Michele Angelo Petrone founded the MAP Foundation to promote expression, communication and understanding of the emotional aspect of serious illness and dying.  He gave workshops and presentations nationally and internationally, helping countless patients, their families, friends, and medical professionals, working tirelessly, even at times when he was unwell, for a cause he passionately believed in.  His aim was that this work should inspire and support people in similarly frightening situations, and enlighten and guide others to a different and better understanding.

Michele's books, exhibitions and talks inspired thousands, helping to bridge medical treatment and the human experience.

The MAP Foundation will continue to build upon the immense body of work generated by Michele since his first illness.

A new home for the MAP Foundation

The MAP Foundation has moved to a new home in Sussex. From February 2008, MAP will be based at the University of Sussex, within the Cancer Research UK Psychosocial Oncology Group unit.

Plans for the future include printing limited editions of the Emotional Cancer Journey series for sale and we shall also be drawing up a programme of exhibitions and workshops. These will form the basis of a new exhibition at the Knapp Gallery, Regents College in London in the autumn of 2009. Further details will be announced later in the year.

The trustees would like to take this opportunity of thanking everyone for their support and encouragement over what has been an extremely difficult year. We hope to take the Foundation forward - as Michele would have wished - and hope we can continue to count on your support in the future.
