Update 7th May: WE DID IT!!!

💛 Super proud of these kids and our awesome friends for donning superhero costumes and running the MK Superhero Fun Run (a mile and a half for tiny legs!) in support of Great Ormond Street Hospital! 💛

A huge THANK YOU to everyone that has donated so far: target has been smashed! 👊🏼 Further updates will follow when the donations are taken into GOSH soon! 💛

MAX'S STORY:

In the Summer of 2018, four year old Max was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer, malignant rhabdomyosarcoma. Alongside fighting this horrible disease, Max missed starting school with his friends. Instead, he spent months visiting Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), where he received amazing care.

Thankfully, in February 2019, Max received the all clear!! Here he is after ringing his end-of-treatment bell, with the encouragement of the wonderful surgeons, nurses and play workers who supported him and his family through their battle.

Max's parents, Kim and Jay, want to give something back following the wonderful support they received from GOSH. Specifically, they want to help enhance the amazing work that the play team do. Kim says;

On 6th May 2019, Max and his family will be running the Milton Keynes Superhero Fun Run. Max's schoolfriends, Connor, Charlie and Scarlett-Rose will also be running, along with their families. Together, team #SuperheroesForMax want to raise as many funds as possible to provide the Play Team at GOSH with much-needed items. This could be anything from pens, paints and craft items, to games consoles and iPads. The more we raise the more we can help.

Please help us with our goal if you can. It will make such a difference to the children and families at GOSH.
