Oscar Burrow, a six-year-old boy from Lancaster, is on a mission to raise money for the Derian House hospice by climbing the height of Mount Everest in the UK.
Even though he initially wanted to climb the real Mount Everest, his dad helped him come up with a more realistic plan. Oscar has already climbed several mountains with his family and raised £1,400 towards his goal of £8,849.
He is determined to help the children at the hospice have holidays and has shown incredible endurance and energy. The funds raised will provide respite and end-of-life care to over 400 children in the North West.
