From one October to another with George We are so pleased to be able to support such a wonderful boy and family. Last year they were moving to a different city for radiotherapy and feeling like they could only just keep their head above water. This year they are enjoying "normal" life with one of the smiliest of boys. George has come so far, and we are proud to be part of his journey and we will continue to be by his side now and in the future.

Our amazing Yorkshire Marathon team didn't let a bit of wind and rain put them off and were full of smiles as runners from eight different businesses teamed up to raise over £12,000 to support children with brain tumours. It really is a life-changing amount of money and all it took was jogging through the beautiful city and countryside of York. If you are wondering...YES we are doing it next year, and YES, we want you and your business there. Contact Phil Martinez on here or via phil@oscarspbtc.org to be involved whether it is 26 miles, 10 miles or as part of a relay team. Thank you to sponsors Hopwood Creative Ltd for your support

OSCAR's raises awareness to empower parents to stand up for their child. We have heard TOO MANY stories of misdiagnosis: stomach bug, eye infection, earache, just a cold, stress, overexcitement, standing still to get attention Our website has the signs and symptoms, and our experienced staff are there to advise you if you are concerned. We are always ready to support you. Remember you know your child better than anyone. #oscars #charity #braintumourawareness

Another amazing Curry and Quiz Night with over £1650 raised and lots of food, fun and finding out who the money helps. Missed out or desperate to go again? We are there again on March 3rd, but it is the hottest 🌶 ticket in town so grab your tickets as soon as you can.

🎄CHRISTMAS is 75 days away 🎄 Get things wrapped up early with our charity cards and decorations Our amazing cards are designed by some of the fantastic children we work with, who are all affected by childhood brain tumours in some way. We are so grateful to them for such brilliant designs. Our gorgeous wooden decorations are courtesy of our mountain medals creator, OakBloke. The cost for a pack of cards (one of each design) or for a decoration is £5, with all the money put straight back into the charity for support, care awareness and research. They will be available for sale on stalls and at events across York and the surrounding area in the run-up to the big day starting tomorrow in King's Square. If you want them posted out, get in touch. And, of course, you can fundraise more by putting on your own Christmas Jumper Day this December and donating to OSCAR's. #charity #Christmas

On #worldmentalhealthday it is important to remember that brain tumours have many hidden knock-on effects. The impact of a brain tumour is not just on the body and not just on the child who has it. We are here for the whole family for as long as they need us. We have helped children affected by brain tumours, siblings and parents. And, importantly, we are continually extending this support, so if you feel you need such help then please get in touch with Phil Martinez or email phil@oscarspbtc.org or WhatsApp/message/call 07596861689 #oscars #charity #mentalhealth #braintumoursupport #family
