đź’” Heartbreaking news about 14-year-old Max Hall: what started as severe headaches was later discovered to be an inoperable brain tumour. Max had been experiencing intense headaches for a year and was advised to take ibuprofen as doctors thought they were migraines. But things took a desperate turn when he had a seizure at home in November.
⚠️ His next stop was intensive care, where CT and MRI scans confirmed something more sinister—a large, inoperable tumour affecting parts of his brain important for communication, speech, and memory. Waiting for biopsy results, it’s a tough reality for Max and his family who are now fundraising for potentially life-saving immunotherapy treatment in Germany as it’s not available on the NHS.
🤕 Stephen, Max’s dad, reflects on how critical it would have been if the tumour had been caught earlier, sharing, “Words can’t describe the feeling—it’s the most terrible dream.” Max is cherished by all who meet him, described as a vibrant soul with a zest for life. Yet now, fatigue, memory loss, and sluggish speech are altering his usual quick-witted self.
🇬🇧 The family’s raising ÂŁ250,000, hoping for a chance at treatment that might make a difference. Meanwhile, the hospital is looking into Max’s case, aiming to understand what happened to prevent future tragedies.
🌟 Let’s rally together! Max and his family could use all the support they can get in this tremendously trying time. Every little bit helps—and makes a huge difference.
