Story
OSCAR's Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity are walking the Edale Skyline in Derbyshire to raise money to support children with brain tumours and their families, raise awareness of signs and symptoms of this terrible disease, and fund research into better and kinder treatments.
We will be walking ten years to the weekend that Oscar Hughes died of a brain tumour aged just 9. The charity that bears his name has helped so many other children in the same situation and the team taking on the walk are doing so to help even more.
Phil's mum, Patricia, died from a brain tumour just a few days after Oscar was diagnosed. Some of her last words were, "You have to help that boy." We tried and ever since the charity has been set up we have tried to raise money to help other children in the same situation as Oscar. It is something really important to all four of us and a way of feeling even closer to Mum / Pat / Grandma.
