Supported by his mother in Christchurch, he is squared up for several rounds of tough treatment including chemotherapy as well as surgery.
Dubbed Whacky Hair Day, the lunchtime event was a way for the children to contribute in real terms as well as show Max they wanted the best for him. The event had a festive atmosphere as mums and teachers lined up with clippers to send the sponsored boys’ hair flying.
Among parents and pupils gathered to cheer the boys on was Max’s father, Morgan Lindsay, who said Max been in Christchurch with his mother since October 6.
"All going well, we hope they’ll be coming home for a spell soon," he said.
Support for Max can be found and contributed to on social media and the school community is also organising a fundraiser disco, November 21.
