On 13 & 14 October 2017, Simon Miles & Paul Jones (PJ) will be attempting (the crazy feat) of completing 2 marathons in 2 days through the Sahara Desert, Morocco. "Why on earth, would you do that!!" I hear you say. To raise money for Cancer Research UK, in memory of and to support Max White's legacy. Max battled with Kidney, Liver & Bone Cancer for 18 months, during this time he suffered discomfort and pain every day. But he faced it with Courage and dignity, a lesson in life to us all. This is a very tough and draining challenge, a fitting tribute to his memory.

Max's story .........

On16 Dec 2013 Max was told the devastating news that he had Kidney Cancer.Following further tests, scans and a biopsy it was found that the cancerhad already spread to his liver and more crucially to his bones, defininghis condition as Stage 4 advanced and therefore inoperable and incurable.

Max's treatment plan did not involve surgery, instead he was immediately offeredpalliative radiotherapy to relieve pain in his spine before being put on a formof TKI Chemotherapy called Sutent. After 4 full cycles of this drug (around 6months) his treatment was stopped as he had to undergo 2 minor operations toremove some rather painful abscesses. During this period off the medication ascan revealed small signs of progression in the liver so it was time to reviewthe treatment plan. After a failed attempt to get onto a new trial drug at TheRoyal Marsden (got the wrong type of kidney cancer!) a new drug wasadministered in September 2014 called Axitinib. The side effects began to settle down after a few weeks and a scan was set for before Xmas 2014 to establish a further benchmark.

December 2014 results were delivered by a new consultant, Dr Roy Vergis who is covering maternity leave for Dr Amanda Clarke until Sept 2015. The results were positive in that they showed no further spread or significant growth of cancer over the past 6 months meaning that Axitinib was doing its job!! Max was able to look forward to a positive Xmas with his family and continue with the treatment plan until his next review in April 2015.

April 2015 - Another visit to see the consultant, Dr Vergis and the scan results were showing that, in the whole, things were remaining stable with one or two areas that needed constant monitoring. However the good news is that treatment continues so that will mean a 9th, 10th and 11th cycle on Axitinib before the next review at the end of June and Max can continue to manage the known side effects of this treatment he understands so well.

Max continued to 'Live life to the Max' despite the challenges he faced through his illness as well as dealing with the ongoing side effects caused by the treatment.

Sadly Max succumbed to his illness on August 17 2015. He died peacefully in Hospital with his Daughter, Mother and Brother by his side. I myself was at his side for his final moments.

We continue to raise Money for this deserving cause in Max name, his Legacy is so very important to us all.

Breakthroughs are being made every day so we want to raise as much money as we can for Cancer Research UK Ltd to support their tremendous work in understanding and beating this illness sooner rather than later, ensuring more & more people beat cancer in the future and may even one day,become a thing of the past.

Thankyou for visiting our page and reading this information - any help or supportyou can offer will be appreciated by me, Max and all those close to him.
