Pupils from Leen Mills Primary School in Hucknall have raised more than £6,000 for Nottingham Hospitals Charity after their friend was diagnosed with bone cancer. In November last year, 10-year-old Oliver Shilton was diagnosed with cancer in his hip - leaving his family in "complete shock and despair".
He is currently being cared for on children's cancer ward E39 at Nottingham Children's Hospital. In a way to thank ward E39 for looking after Oliver, pupils and teachers at the school decided to raise money.
The school took on a running challenge on February 10 to fundraise for Nottingham Hospitals Charity. Nichola Shilton, Oliver's mum, spoke about his awful diagnosis.
