26th September 2011 - Young boy thanks nurses

Six-year-old Dylan held a coffee morning to raise money to help nurses on Airedale Hospital’s children’s ward after his older brother had an overnight stay after a fall.

With help from his sister Grace, aged 11, he invited all the neighbours on his street in Skipton and raised over £100 after Oscar Canny, aged ten, needed hospital treatment when he badly injured his knee.

Proud mum Sally Heseltine and her young family presented the money to the hospital to say thank you to those who looked after young Oscar.

Sayma Mirza, senior sister on the children's unit at Airedale NHS Foundation Trust, said: “This is a lovely gesture from Oscar’s brother and we are really grateful for the funds he has raised. They will be used to help buy a chair bed for parents who have to stay overnight with their children.”
