11-year-old Oscar Maitland is set to climb Ben Lomond for Epilepsy charity Epilepsy Action.

The lad from Arundel was diagnosed with the disease three years ago - but that hasn't stopped him from showing the world whose boss.

He says that he wants to climb the 3,200ft Scottish mountain for Epilepsy Action because he wants to raise awareness for the condition - and do his part to help.

He says: "Lots of people don’t understand epilepsy at all, or they expect everyone’s seizures to be the same:, to look like a ‘fit’. 

“It’s important to me that people know that everyone’s seizures look and feel different."

Young Oscar has already raised 106% of his original £1500 for the charity - but is looking to raise even more!

Additional information of Oscar's story - as well as donation link - can be found on his JustGiving page below.
