MIGHTY Max is urging YOU to get into the festive spirit by coming along to his Christmas market to help raise money for research into childhood blood cancers.
The four-year-old, of Little Walden Road, will be joined by mum and dad Jodie and Daniel Rowlandson, little sister India and a team of local businesses who are supporting the fundraising effort for the charity Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research at the community centre in Great Chesterford on Saturday.
Max, who is just over halfway through a three-year course of treatment after being diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in June 2010, started school at St Thomas More in September and has already completed a number of successful fundraising exploits with his family.
The market, organised with Louise Mulhearn and a team of volunteers, will include handmade crafts, Olympic clothing, free leisure centre passes, cakes and a Christmas card design competition and face painting for children.
It follows on from the success of Max’s Market in March, which helped raise �1,500 for the charity, and everyone in the community has been encouraged to turn out for the day to try and eclipse this target.
The event runs from 10am-1pm and entry is a 50p donation on the door.
