Max Disher

Hayward, Wisconsin

Max was diagnosed with a rare, very aggressive form of leukemia when he
was ten years old. Upon diagnosis he was not allowed to leave the
hospital. A port for chemotherapy was installed that day, and he began
receiving chemotherapy by that evening. He was quaratined as his immune
system would be destroyed by the chemotherapy in a matter of days. After
4 months and three rounds of chemotherapy Max didn’t gain remission. It
was determined he would need a bone marrow transplant. Thankfully his 12
year old sister Dakota was a perfect match. After more chemotherapy to
kill all of Max’s bone marrow, Dakota’s marrow was deposited on Halloween
day. By Christmas Max was allowed to go home and was well on his way to
recovery. Max is now attending college at the University of Wisconsin
Stout.

Max and his dad Ken hunted at Bucketlist Lodge exactly ten years after his
diagnosis. Max harvested a very nice ten point buck on the 3rd full day
of his hunt. The crew at Bucketlist Lodge would like to wish Max and his
family the very best! Bucketlist Lodge would like to thank Hope Kids for
helping us find great people like Max and Ken Disher! We would also like
to thank our local farmers that grant us permission to hunt on their
property.
