Boy aims to inspire others with head shave
Oscar wanted to help cancer patients and support the hospice care services.
He explained: “What inspired me to do this was that my friend Connor’s mum sadly died from cancer, so I thought I would like to help families and people who suffer from cancer.

Oscar attends St Catherine’s Catholic Primary School in Littlehampton, where staff are very proud of his efforts.
Head teacher Gillian Askham said she was humbled by the actions of the children and she hoped what Oscar had achieved would inspire others to support such a worthy cause.
