    He did really well didn't he? Not as celebrated as others but then he didn't get a media name influencing things. 

    Well done Max, a good first thing for your CV

    Wonderful effort, the other end of the age scale from Captain Tom, but no less worthy. We have shared with others, and donated.👏👏👏

    We've all been following him over the year on local SW TV, since he first started his camp out, he's had lots of support and it's good to see him getting national recognition. Well done that lad....I wonder if his Mum will persuade him to sleep inside now, he said he wouldn't! wink

    What a thoroughly decent lad Max is. He deserves any recognition or plaudits afforded to him. Now his efforts have made national television AND that he's set-up a nationwide 'camp-out' to raise even more funds, let's hope he smashes the million £ mark (and beyond)

    If I were in marketing at CAMC I'd be thinking of ways to help this effort....donating £1 for every tent pitch rented out over a particular weekend perhaps?

    He has completed his 365 nights and his fundraising currently stands at £526,000 which is a pretty excellent effort so well done Max. I wonder if his Mum has been successful at persuading him to sleep indoors yet?
