OSCAR’s PBTC (Ongoing, Support, Care and Research into Paediatric Brain Tumours Charity) was formed in the summer of 2014 by the parents and friends of Oscar Hughes, a 9 year old boy who died of a Medulloblastoma on the 3rd of May 2014. The journey Oscar went on for a year to try and be free of cancer was both heartbreaking and inspiring to see. The treatments involved to fight Brain Tumours have devastating effects on a young body and mind. This is unacceptable and the only way to change this is by researching these cancers and find better treatments. The charity aims to fund critical research into paediatric brain tumours with the hope to find a cure and less devastating treatments. The Charity works closely with other charities.

In February 2016, our beautiful son Connor was diagnosed with a form of Muscular Dystrophy called Duchenne.Duchenne effects 1 in 3500 boys in the UK. It attacks the muscles and in most cases mobility is lost by the age of 10. It will eventually attack the lungs and heart which will lead to prematurely taking life from the late 20’s. Unfortunately, it has no cure. However, with your help good news is on the horizon. Research is underway for both enhanced therapy and a cure, but it’s vital for Connor and boys like Connor these projects receive funding to continue and even accelerate their development. Our mission is to end Duchenne in the next 5 years. Please support us to find a cure for this devastating disease.
