HE’S a little boy with an inoperable brain tumour.
Joshua Schwarz has captured the hearts of his Upwey community, with the local footy and cricket clubs coming together to organise a fund-raising day in his honour.
He was diagnosed late last year.
On Sunday, members of the Dandenongs community came together again to show their support for Joshua and his family.
Organiser Dane Howe the Upwey and Tecoma Football and Cricket Clubs said the day was a success.
“Last year, it was fund-raising for the local CFA, this year we’ve decided to do what we can for Joshua and his family,” Mr Howe said.
“One of our players mums used to be Joshua’s kindergarten teacher, so that’s how it all started.
“The family aren’t members of our club, but they are Upwey people.”
“The support we’ve had has been amazing,” he said.
While not able to make the event, Joshua’s mum Penne said she was amazed by the community support.
The family is currently on a holiday along the east coast of Australia creating memories for their brave little man.
