A bit of background on Max
Max Hanson is an awesome kid from Seattle! He's 9 years old and loves
sports of any kind, doing art projects (especially drawing), playing with his
little brother Beck and big sister Robin and just being a kid!
Max was diagnosed with a medulloblastoma(brain tumor) in February of
2004. He had a successful surgery at Children's hospital and has completed six
weeks of chemo and radiation treatment and is well on his way to completing
maintenance chemo therapy (finished in the end of October).
Max's surgery has given him some challenges, especially when it comes to doing the sports he loves so much. His balance was effected as well as his right side coordination for throwing and running. He continues to work hard though and is looking forward to being done with his treatment at the end of October 2004!
Despite all this Max is back in school full time (3rd grade), is learning to play golf, regularly practices hitting baseballs in the yard and is assistant coach for his school's soccer team!
As his surgeon said - Max has an indominable spirit!!!
