LAST WEEK, WE brought you a story about Max Birmingham, a five-year-old boy fighting cancer for the second time in his short life.
“Mighty Max” is WWE-mad, his mother Cathy, told Low Blows, an Irish-based wrestling podcast.
She had shared a Facebook post asking for any spare memorabilia that people could give while Max is in treatment.
To that end, the Low Blows hosts took up the baton. At their upcoming event to screen WWE’s Money In The Bank pay-per-view in Dublin’s Woolshed (tickets €8.50), the organisers will collect memorabilia for Max, which will then be delivered to him.
We shared that story and told you how you could send toys to Max through us.
And you did not let us down.
We received packages from across the country, with lovely notes and letters of support for Max. These included cards from a nine-year-old boy, a box full of wrestlers from a 17-year-old who didn’t play with them anymore and loads of other toys, some of which were bought new.
We will be passing the memorabilia on to the Low Blows crew next week, but if you want to send something it’s not too late, just post it to TheJournal.ie, Golden Lane, Dublin 8.
From all of us here, thank you so much. Our readers are always brilliant in responding to the charity appeals we share and this one was genuinely touching to see.
