I am running the Dublin City Half Marathon in May in aid of Oscar's Kids and in memory of my beautiful nephew Brody who we lost in August 2025. He was only 9 years old. He sadly was diagnosed with DIPG in May 2024. During his illness Oscar's Kids were beyond anything we can describe. From treats and presents,to trips and most importantly, with their help, he became an award winning Roblox Developer and 5 days before he passed away, he won Game of the Year at the 2025 Dublin Comic Con. His dreams came true, and we can never thank them enough for the role they played in that. Since his passing, they have remained a huge support to my sister and family. They are angels on this earth. They lost their own son to the same brain tumour as Brody. I just hope the two boys are looking down and see just what Oscar's Kids are doing for families. Ps: I have arthritis in my left foot so come on, help me out here 😊😊 Please donate anything you can, I massively appreciate it. Thank you Louise xx

About Oscar's Kids Ireland

Oscar's Kids is a paediatric cancer charity that works directly with children and their families to support them as they navigate a journey with cancer. We do this through the gifting of tailored treats and experiences to positively impact what can be an immensely difficult and prolonged timeframe with the illness, alongside emotional support and the building of a community of similar families and peers who support each other throughout their individual journeys. Our inspiration is taken from our own son, Oscar, who died in 2019 from an inoperable brain tumour. Oscar showed us the value and importance of finding joy in every day, even on those darkest days. Through Oscar's Kids we want to provide some of Oscar's magic to all children in Ireland living with cancer. We also provide funding towards ongoing paediatric cancer research.
