A little boy is making a difference to those in hospice care one sunflower at a time. Ethan Howarth, four, came home from school with a sunflower and has since planted over 200 of them to raise vital funds for Willow Wood Hospice.
The youngster, who loves gardening with his family at their home in Newton, Hyde, decided alongside dad Ross to plant as many of the flowers as they could in their back garden and sell them on to raise funds.
Willow Wood Hospice provides specialist palliative care for patients with life limiting illnesses, both with cancer and non-cancer diagnosis. Services include an inpatient unit, day services, dementia support, and bereavement counselling.
