More than two million sunflowers will bloom this summer in memory of two-year-old Max Rombouts of Thedford, Ont., who died of leukemia. Since the first seeds were planted five years ago, the farmers behind Miracle Max's Minions have raised more than $450,000 for charity.Sunflowers are in bloom at 7184 Lakeshore Rd. in Lambton Shores in memory of two-year-old Max Rombouts, who died of leukemia in 2019, with other fields set to bloom nearby in coming weeks. It's a sight to see.
This time of year, the fields of yellow attract passersby who pull over for photos, including along Highway 21 at 7184 Lakeshore Rd. in Lambton Shores, where sunflowers are in full bloom. "To us as a family, the sunflower field just means that Max will never be forgotten," said Max's mom, Jamie. The Rombouts chose the charitable organizations based on the support they were given, including Profyle, which researches pediatric cancers, the London-based Childcan, and the Ronald McDonald House, where Jamie spent 144 consecutive nights and two more months staying.
Donations to Miracle Max's Minions fund a parking pass for families at the Children's Hospital in London battling a childhood cancer diagnosis.
