I will be jumping out of an aeroplane at 13000ft in a tandem skydive on 24th September 2023, to raise money for Max Judge. I’m hoping to raise £1000 towards the cost of vital equipment to help Max with his mobility and Rehab. Please help me hit my target, no amount is too small and all donations will be thankfully received.

In 2018 aged just 17, Max was diagnosed with Chondrosarcoma, a rare type of bone cancer, particularly in someone so young. He underwent surgery and chemotherapy. In 2020 we were told the cancer had returned and the treatment option was another major surgery and intense radio therapy. In December 2022 we were given the news that tumours had again been found in Max’s pelvis and leg. Unfortunately, given the severity of the previous treatments Max had received, a whole lower limb amputation was the only option. Sarcoma is a rare cancer that does not receive the same levels of funding as other well-known cancers, consequently there are only a couple of treatments currently offered and research in alternatives is lacking.

Anyone who knows Max knows he is the bravest, most inspirational young person imaginable, who has been through so much at such a young age. The NHS has been a blessing for us, but sadly the scope of rehabilitation with the equipment available is very limited. Max’s recovery is going well but in order to allow him to regain some independence a lot of adjustment is needed. Given that he is so young and has always loved being active, we are looking to raise money to fund equipment to help with his mobility and rehab which is not available on the NHS.
