The birth of a baby brother would normally be a joyous occasion for a toddler – a playmate to grow up with and join in a kick about.
But for little Oscar Fradgley tragically born with no hands or feet, the arrival of brother Max seven months ago severed to bring home the fact he was different to other children. Now his parents Lisa and Chris are launching a campaign to raise £100,000 to help Oscar – the only child in the country to be born without hands and feet – make the most of his life.

THE birth of a baby brother would normally be a joyous occasion for a toddler - a playmate to grow up with and join in a kick about. But for little Oscar Fradgley, tragically born with no hands or feet, the arrival of brother Max seven months ago served to bring home the fact he was different to other children. One of the first things he asked his mum was whether he was going to get fingers like his perfectly-formed brother. The sad answer is no and Oscar is aware he will never be able to lead a normal life. Now his parents, Lisa and Chris, are launching a campaign to raise pounds 100,000 to help Oscar - the only child in the country to be born without hands or feet - make the most of his life.
