THE appeal in memory of York schoolboy Oscar Hughes has now raised more than £75,000 after another £2,000 was donated by mourners at his funeral last week.
A fundraising campaign was originally launched last month to pay for the Dunnington nine-year-old to take part in promising research and clinical trials abroad, following a relapse in his recovery from a brain tumour.
But the relapse proved too aggressive to treat and he died earlier this month, with the money now set to be used to help fund research into the illness to help other future victims.
