Story

OSCAR's Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity are running, sliding and bouncing over 5k of massive inflatables on a gruelling course 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 running ten years after 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 run are doing so to help even more.

We are joined in the team by a number of runners who are part of 'Team Alf'. They are running in memory of ten-year-old North Yorkshire boy, Alfie Hutchinson, who died of a brain tumour in March of this year. OSCAR's are very grateful to all the runners for their support and will continue to work with Alfie's family and school for as long as they need us.
