Help Needed for Wallaceburg Tot

An online fundraiser has been started for a local baby who was recently diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Dylan Wilbur, diagnosed with a brain tumour at four months old.

Four-month-old Dylan Wilbur of Wallaceburg was diagnosed with a disease called Nystagmus. A routine ultrasound found a mass on his brain, and an MRI revealed two masses.

Dylan is scheduled for a craniotomy in London today, and will later receive chemotherapy at Sick Kids hospital to shrink the tumour.

His Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Ryan have set up a GoFundMe page to assist the family.

The fundraiser surpassed the $10,000 goal within the first 24 hours, but online donations are still being accepted to help with travel costs and lost wages.
