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.
