COLLECTION IN SUPPORT OF MAX
Max Levene Trust Collection
4th May 2010
A collection held at half-time and on the exit gates when the Cornish Pirates played Bristol on Saturday raised the sum of £1,000-74 in support of the Max Levene Trust.
Max broke his neck in an unfortunate accident when playing for Truro School last October, and the result of the injury means that Max is now paralysed below the chest and has limited movement in his arms.
He has shown remarkable fortitude and depth of character since his accident but will need considerable help and support as he recovers and builds a new life.
Graham Whitmore, Director of Sport at Truro School said:
“All at school have been humbled by Max’s positive attitude and the way he is learning to develop new skills at this difficult time in his life, and we are delighted with the manner in which the local, school and rugby communities are pulling together to help support Max, including the Cornish Pirates.”
A series of fundraising events are planned including:
Max Levene Trust Invitation Match
Cornwall Legends XV v British Legends XV
Saturday 5th June Kick Off 3pm
