Cancer Victim's Mum Blasts Controversial Charity Worker

Feb 24 2008 By Marion Scott

A CHILD cancer victim's mum claims a scandal-hit charity worker exploited her son to raise cash.

Bruno 'The Vulture' Schultz gave Ross Granger's family £500 then used his story to attract donations.

Schultz - part of the disgraced Moonbeams charity - sells the Rosebud newsletter.

But he uses loopholes in charity laws to hide how much money goes to good causes. Five-year-old Ross's mum Eileen Granger, 38, said: "Ross's story was used to lure people to give cash. His £500 will have netted him a fortune.

"If I knew then what I know now, I'd never touched it. It isn't a registered charity."

Ross, of Prestwick, Ayrshire, had ball-sized tumours on both kidneys but beat the cancer.

Schultz, 55, was accused four years ago of raising £300,000 for Moonbeams but handing over just £50,000.

He highlighted his donation to Ross's family in Rosebud, which sells for £3.

MSP Michael McMahon said: "This is despicable."

Schultz, of Linlithgow, West Lothian, said: "I will not show you my financial records."
