Terminally ill man aims to leave a legacy of hope for others
A man with terminal cancer and his wife have launched a charity to helping people with brain tumours or other neurological conditions.
Oscar DaCosta, a lawyer, said he was inspired to act because was shocked at the lack of support available after he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer late last year.
He said, “There are so many people here with neurological issues, be it stroke, seizures or brain tumours. There are also people with multiple sclerosis.”
But he said there were no support groups available and that he was only offered an art therapy class – which he was expected to pay for.
