Well, well, well, who would have known? Some Elfs also do a daily e***a before they fly to the North Pole to let Santa know how the kids are behaving.
*If there was a contest, this super creative mother would have won it - we loved it. We always tell families that we have patients in all professions doing daily e***a, now we will add: even an Elf!

The Kate's met in Edinburgh after being invited to attend The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh annual meeting where the theme was 'lived experiences'. Kate Tyler delivered a talk on her experiences of living with ARM, the impact that it has on all aspects of well-being, and the importance of successful transition and lifelong care into adulthood. The talk was very well received being described as wonderful, insightful, powerful and valuable for surgeons to hear what is most important to patients.

As we approach the festive period we have decided to create a fundraiser for our small charity.

We know that people often like to donate to charity rather than sending cards over the festive period so this is an easy way to do that.

As you may have noticed the option to fundraise for Max's Trust through Facebook has been down for some time. We are delighted to announce after many attempts you can now create Facebook fundraisers for Max's Trust. This is great news for our small charity. This means that you can now create your own Facebook fundraisers for birthday etc.

We have some exciting fundraising ideas planned for later on in the year.

As always if you would like to fundraise for Max's or become part of our fundraising team then please get in touch. You can email us at hello@maxtrust.org.

Happy Fundraising!
