The mum and dad of a Southport three year old are appealing for help and support after he was diagnosed with brain cancer.

Just a few short weeks ago, 3-year-old Oscar Brown was a cheeky, happy, and healthy little boy — full of energy, laughter, and love for life.

Four weeks later, his world and his parents lived changed forever as Oscar was diagnosed with Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG), a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer.

The tumour is large, inoperable, and located on his brain stem — affecting the way he walks and moves.

His mum Katie said: “In the last three weeks alone, our brave boy has already undergone two brain surgeries, facing every challenge with incredible courage and strength beyond his years.

“This devastating diagnosis has come as a huge shock to us and we  are doing everything we can to stay strong for him, and to his whole family who are doing everything they can to support him.

Oscar is also a proud big brother to baby Willow, and shares a beautiful bond with his best friend and cousin, Frankie, who is the same age.

“Doctors have told us that Oscar’s prognosis is 12 months, and he will soon begin an intensive run of radiotherapy treatment 5 days a week for 6 weeks to give him the best chance possible.

“We want to give Oscar and his family the chance to create beautiful, lasting memories together — moments filled with love, laughter, and light in such a dark and heartbreaking time.”l

Funds raised will go towards:

• Helping the family create special memories and experiences together
• Covering the costs of frequent hospital trips and treatment appointments
• Supporting the family with travel, accommodation, and living expenses during this incredibly difficult journey

By donating, sharing, or even just sending words of support, you’re helping give Oscar’s family time — time to make memories, time to smile, and time to hold onto hope
