My name is Maxson - I'm 13 years old and in the 7th grade. I'm from Louisville, KY and I **LOVE** baseball, snow skiing with my Dad, playing video games with my friends, watching college sports and hanging with my family at the lake. I am a huge fan of the Louisville Cardinals, the LA Dodgers, the Cincinnati Reds and the Baltimore Ravens! I learned I had a brain tumor after I went to the eye doctor for a routine eye exam thinking I needed glasses. The next day I had an MRI and the following morning, I was in brain surgery. Crazy ride, huh? Since September of last year, I've been receiving treatment at Cincinnati Children's and they're taking great care of me. This summer I hope to take a trip to California with my family to watch my favorite baseball team - the LA Dodgers - and see my favorite baseball player, Will Smith. He's a catcher just like me. I'm looking forward to life returning to a bit more normal, and hopefully soon. I should finish chemotherapy in June 2024 and hope to ring the bell this summer.
