We are Ballum fans, raising money for the Brain Tumour Research Campaign as a thank you to Max Bowden. We know that this is an important charity for Max, and we want to give something back to him – to say thank you for everything over the last five years.

Max has not just given a fantastic performance as Ben, embodying important, difficult storylines with grace and respect, but he has given us this wonderful community. A community of friends who would never have met without Ben. A community that has raised over £11,000 for charity in the last five years. We are a powerful force, and a big part of that is because of Max.

We want to give Max, and Ben, the send-off he deserves. Please donate what you can – if you would like to leave a message with your donation, make sure to share your appreciation for Max and the stories he has told through Ben.
