Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
On March 15/16th , we will be cycling from Glasgow to Belfast with the Wee Oscar 4 Life team to raise much needed funds for Oscar Knox.
Our cycling experience is limited and cycling this distance will be a great challenge for us! It is something we have been inspired to do when we became aware of just how much money was required to provide Oscar and others like him with the treatment needed for Neuroblastoma.
Oscar is fighting stage 4 neuroblastoma, an aggressive childhood cancer. Oscar needs immunotherapy treatment to help stimulate his immune system, so that Oscar's own body should be able to recognise and attack the neuroblastoma if it was to return. This is always a worry with this deadly disease, where the relapse rates are high. Oscar’s parents Stephen and Leona said, “Oscar is such a positive happy wee lad, he is always smiling and everyone who meets him falls in love with him. Despite what he is going though he always has a huge big smile on his face. The treatment abroad that Oscar needs costs as much as £250,000. We ask everyone to please do whatever they can to help give our son the chance of life, and ensure we get him the treatment he desperately needs.”
