Raising funds for a specialised prosthetic leg

My son Oliver is a sixteen year old boxing enthusiast who has been training since he was six years old.

On the 18th of March, Ollie broke his leg whilst sparring at the gym in the boxing ring.

After the examinations at the hospital, the X-Rays showed a tumor at the break site.

Ollie underwent various tests and a bone biopsy while submitted to hospital. When the results returned, the news wasn't good, and Ollie was diagnosed with an extremely rare type of cancer, Adamantinoma.

Adamantinoma is found in only 1 in 1.9 million people, and what we had thought were shin splints for over two years had actually turned out to be something unthinkable.

This, however, didn't deter Ollie, and with his leg plastered purple, and a hospital borrowed wheelchair he went back to school.

Unfortunately, further tests revealed the cancer had spread, and Ollie was left with two treatment options. Limb salvation which would result ankle fusion. muscle loss, deformity, mobility restriction and a possible return of cancer, or amputation above the knee.

Ollie has made the brave decision to have his leg amputated, for which he hopes will lead to a better quality of life, and more importantly, a higher survival chance

We are asking for anyone who can help, to help us raise the money for a prosthetic leg, which will give Olilie the mobility required to help continue with day to day life, and his love for boxing, with as little impact as possible.

Thank you, any help is greatly appreciated.
