Story

Oskar's little brother Jacob was born on Valentine's day 2018. He had a heart condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and lived 5 very full days until he was called to heaven. Oskar talks often about his brother despite only being young when he was born. He has been keen to raise money for Jacob's hospice to give others a chance at having the same access to care in their time of need.

Oskar has been raising money by selling his toys and saving his pocket money but would now like to reach £200 by running an official 5k in memory of Jacob's hospice, Demelza. He will be running the timed 5k on 14th Jan 2024 and training has already started!

Oskar is very grateful for your help in getting to his target.

☆UPDATE: Oskar ran his 5km race and surprised even himself at getting a time of 26 minutes 27 seconds! Well done Oskar, we are very proud of you.☆

Demelza are there for children and their families with expert clinical, emotional and practical support at every step – from first diagnosis and for as long as they are needed. To us, it felt like a second home full of experts in our time of need.
