Boy, 10, with cerebral palsy takes on charity climb

Oscar has cerebral palsy, but loves football, climbing and running

"I have cerebral palsy... I don't let that stop me, and I'm climbing a mountain for charity."

Ten-year-old Oscar from Shawbury, in Shropshire, is attempting to scale Scafell Pike - England's highest mountain - on Saturday.

The walk will raise money for Children in Need, a charity handpicked by the young boy himself.

"Every time when I watch Children in Need and all the people come up, I feel upset - so that's why I'm doing it," he told the BBC.

Oscar has previously scaled the Wrekin, raising money for cerebral palsy, as well as Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) - fundraising for Stand Up to Cancer.

"I have been doing long distances to get ready for it [the Scafell Pike climb], and doing more running to give me some practice," said Oscar.

He previously climbed the Wrekin in Shropshire and Snowdon, raising money for different charities

His disability means he has difficulty walking, and wears aids to help him.

"It affects me because I cannot stop walking on my tippy toes and I need support with that," he said.

This, however, does not stop him from living an active life - he loves running, climbing and football.

He wants to be a footballer when he grows up, and supports Liverpool.

When things get tough on the climb, he said he would tell himself "never give up and never let your disability stop you".

His fundraising target is ambitious - he said he wanted to raise £8,000, which was swiftly corrected by his mum, Steph.

"The goal isn't £8,000 it's £3,000," she said.

About £600 has been raised so far.

"He's going to smash it, we always have a bit of: 'Is he going to do it? Is he going to be ok?' But every challenge he sets himself he just does it, so I'm not even going to doubt him this time."

Steph will be making the climb with her son, and said she "almost had a heart attack" when she saw how big it was.

"We normally have a good turnout... friends, family, who come out with us... we take a little picnic," she said.

"We are just super proud, as soon as he finished doing Snowdon he was like: 'Right ok, my next challenge...' And I think Ben Nevis was mentioned!

"I think he'll just keep going."
