Oliver, aged 4, was diagnosed with pelvic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, in August 2019. Two weeks after Oliver finished maintenance chemotherapy, a lump appeared in his neck and Oliver received palliative chemotherapy. However, in July 2021, the disease spread further throughout his body. No treatment options were available. Sadly, Oliver passed away in September 2021, aged 6.

Oliver gave everything he had and the treatments that exist just aren’t good enough for our children. We need awareness and new research to improve treatments to ensure better outcomes so no more children and their families have to suffer.
