THE OWNER of the Oban Bay Hotel has handed over £20,000 to a charity that works to save the lives of children suffering from a rare brain cancer.
The Crerar Hotels Trust granted the money to Funding Neuro. The money will pay for a clinical trial into a new treatment for the highly aggressive brain tumour Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG).
DIPG is a brain cancer mostly affecting children between the ages of six to 10 and has been considered untreatable.
