AVAILABLE NOW - Martin Maxwell's Memoir in Paperback

January 28, 2025 - It is with great pride that we announce the official release of Martin's memoir.

With a foreword by longtime friend Dr. Ken Hedges, "For Your Tomorrow We Gave Our Today" is the culmination of an effort that began in 2018 and continued in earnest following Martin's passing in late 2020.

Martin touched so many people with his public appearances over the years, with countless audience members asking if his story would ever be available in print. With the generous support of Centennial College Press, we are thrilled to finally have made it a reality and immortalized Martin's incredible life story in print.

Thank you to everyone that contributed to the work and we look forward to hearing feedback once you have had the opportunity to read it.
