BSG Solicitors in Lancaster held a bake sale recently to raise funds for Oscar’s Everest Walk in aid of Derian House Children’s Hospice.
The firm was inspired by Oscar Burrow, the six year old grandson of retired BSG Partner Mark Burrow. You may have seen Oscar on local TV or the local and national press as his exploits have earned him lots of attention. Oscar and various members of his family, including Mum, Dad, Sister Ada and Grandad Mark are climbing 12 mountains in the British Isles. The total height of these mountains is equivalent to the height of Mount Everest. The initial target for Oscar’s fundraiser was £8,849 which is the height in metres of Mount Everest. That target was achieved so the new target is £29, 300 which is the height of Mount Everest in feet!
The bake sale at BSG raised £510 to add to the ever-growing fund.
Partner Rebecca Lauder said “Oscar arrived at our office like a whirlwind on the day of the bake sale. His enthusiasm for climbing the mountains is a delight to see and we have no doubt that, in the future, Oscar will achieve his ambition to climb Mount Everest. He is a shining example of what can be achieved with the unswerving support of his family and we have been delighted to help.”
