Sunflowers planted in the memory of a two-year-old Lambton County boy have begun to bloom on his parent's Thedford-area farm.
It's the latest field to support Miracle Max's Minions, a campaign that has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to assist children battling cancer.
In 2019, Max Rombouts passed away from leukemia. He was just two years old.
Since his death, the number of “Miracle Max's Minions" sunflower fields spread across Lambton County has grown from one to three, with a reported fourth to be revealed shortly.
Inside her patch, Max's mother, Jamie, is overwhelmed.
'I would have never foreseen what it has bloomed into today," she said with a cheerful smile.
To date, funds raised from donations given by visitors to the fields and online have hit $450,000.
