Don't Give Up Max!

This is a photostory about Max's inspring and couragous recovery from a brain tumor. Max is a 13 year old boy who was diagnosed with brain cancer 5 years ago! He finished treatment in October 2004 and is doing great! Thanks so much to Max's amazing doctors and nurses, to the researchers and scientists at Children's Hospital in Seattle and to all our friends and family. This story belongs to you, and to Max.

thanks! Max is doing great - he's getting stronger and bigger all the time. It's amazing to look back at this video now with how big he's gotten and how much has changed. I remember at the time thinking - someday all this is going to be just a distant memory, Max will be big and strong and we'll hardly ever think about hard tough this all is. I just realized - that's now.

@springmausi thanks!

Max just graduated from 8th grade and will be attending high school next year! We're so proud of him. Max is very strong. the first 2 songs are awesome and they are Don't Give Up by Eagle Eye Cherry and In the Middle by Jimmy Eats World.

HI! this is Max's Dad. Thanks for coming back and checking on Max. Max is doing really well first of all. He's now 14 years old and about as tall as me! Earlier this year we held a party commemorating the 5 year anniversary of his diagnosis. Max has been cancer free for 5 over years!!!! This is a big milestone. He's acting in plays and still playing soccer, still getting stronger and trying hard at everything he does. Blessings! Eric
