The challenge will raise funds for Mountbatten Hospice.
Hospices have recently faced funding cuts, and Max hopes to assist the community by donating all proceeds from the event to Mountbatten.
To donate to Max's challenge, visit his JustGiving page.
He said: "I hope the community can get behind me for this event which will be both very mentally and physically demanding, and can also help to raise as much donations as possible for the hospice."
