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.
