Oscar Burrow, from Lancaster, has been gifted a huge sum in his charity ambitions to help Derian House Children's Hospice
A determined Lancashire boy who is climbing the equivalent of Mount Everest to help Derian House Children's Hospice send families on much-needed holidays has almost hit his fundraising goal – thanks to the kindness of a stranger.
Mark surprised Oscar, aged six, and his family with the big cheque at the Chorley hospice on Friday . Now the pounds raised are ahead of the feet climbed in Oscar’s challenge to climb 12 mountains in the UK. The incredible donation brings his total to £27,000 – almost one pound for each foot of Mount Everest.Oscar said: “Wow, that was a brilliant surprise. Mark has helped us and I’m almost there – I only need £2,000 and we have done it.
Oscar’s mum, Kim, said: “I was so gobsmacked. The generosity of Mark just blew me away. I was smiling from ear to ear, jumping about and just looking at Oscar. It’s so surreal, we never set out on this journey thinking we’d ever raise anywhere near this amount of money and all of a sudden we’ve got to this point and I can barely comprehend that people have been so generous - it’s amazing.”
“And of course to Oscar, who has reached mountainous heights in his mission to send Derian House’s families on holiday. It is only down to the generosity of our incredible supporters – like Oscar and his family – that we are able to do this and we’re so grateful.”
