A BRAVE schoolboy battling cancer wants everyone to donate to an appeal to save his life.
Five-year-old Oscar Saxelby-Lee's leukaemia has returned despite him undergoing a bone marrow transplant and in an emotional video, he asks everyone to give just £6.
His mum, Olivia, 23, said: “We received the devastating news that Oscar’s chances of cure are very slim since he has recently relapsed post his stem cell transplant.
“The NHS sadly will not fund the CAR-T trial in Singapore and nor will they fund a second transplant unless he is post 12 months of the first.
“This is why we need you, we need everyone’s support and kindness to get him through to the next stage of treatment."
The family want to raise a total of £500,000 and so far, £50k has been given.
