Oliver, five, enjoys playing the Star Chaser game and challenges his parents to beat his score.
A five-year-old boy has designed a video game character after undergoing treatment for a type of kidney cancer.Following his treatment, the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted his wish and gave him a Nintendo Switch games console.
He has now worked with the charity to create a character for its fundraising game called Star Chaser. Oliver was nearly two years old when his mother, Ceri-Anne, took him to the GP after finding the lump.He was referred for a blood test but before that could happen his symptoms worsened with a high fever and nausea.His left kidney was removed and he had radiotherapy and chemotherapy.Ceri-Anne said: "Oliver remained happy throughout his treatment although it did mean that he couldn't do a lot of the things that other children could.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes for children in the UK with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition. The charity said it had seen a 400% increase in gaming-related wishes since 2017, with more unwell children finding solace in gaming.Ceri-Anne said he was "over the moon"."He was so excited when he was asked to design a character and was telling people he's going to be famous," said Ceri-Anne.The game was launched ahead of the charity's Wish 200 Week campaign that asks gamers to support their fundraising appeal.
