A little boy who loves trains will be the star attraction of a miniature railway's charity fun day this weekend. Four-year-old Percy Sherwood-Brown is not only a huge miniature train fan, but is also a current out-patient of Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
He was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in March 2020 when he was just two years old. The youngster will be among the first on board at Brookside Miniature Railway in Poynton on Sunday, which is finally able to host its fun day in aid of Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital Charity.
Bosses at the much-loved family attraction had originally planned to host the fundraising event for the children’s hospital in March 2019, as part of a grand reopening after it suddenly closed in 2018. But railway managers and volunteers have faced 'every disaster possible' and had to keep postponing the event.
