Max David Hamilton was a charming, courageous young man whom everyone adored. He touched many souls with his warm, loving heart, and his enjoyment of life inspired many.
On the night of the 26th of July 2019, at the age of 19, he had a fatal skateboarding accident and was cruelly taken from this world. After facing extreme brain and head injuries, he tragically passed away in hospital on the 27th of July 2019. Being the very giving person he was, he donated six of his organs, giving a new life to six recipients.
He loved all things skateboarding, carving his way through life and seeing it as an art to express himself, so much so that he built his skateboard deck press and launched a skateboard brand.
He cared for the community and was very passionate about making much-needed improvements to the local skatepark.
We have set up this CIC to fundraise in memory of Max. The valued funds will be used to run skateboard workshops within the skateboard and local community throughout the UK. While running these workshops, our fully trained facilitators will discuss the importance of head protection and wearing a helmet.
THINK AHEAD BEFORE YOU SHRED.
