Oliver, who lives in Hexham, Northumberland, with mum Sarah, and dad Gary, both 46, and 11-year-old sister Elizabeth, suffered a catastrophic brain injury when he was just two days old.
Thousands of people from all over the world supported his crusade - known as Oliver’s Calvert Army - to stop the charity from closing.“But it was only by using his disabilities that Oliver was able to raise such an extraordinary amount of money – none of us could have achieved that.Oliver was nominated by former outdoor activity instructor Kirsty Smith – who once helped him reach the 451-metre summit of Catbells, in the Lake District.
Oliver added: “The Calvert Trust was about to close and I wanted to raise £25,000. I walked 13 steps, ate 13 jaffa cakes and stood up for 13 seconds – it feels good to be nominated.”Credit: Darren Fletcher She immediately called 999, checked her breathing and held her head above the water until paramedics arrived - lifesaving skills she has learnt as aNatasha, who has numerous health conditions, went to hospital where she needed stitches, and MRI and CT scan before being given the all-clear.
