Seven-year-old Ethan Hunter from Edinburgh tragically lost his battle with cancer. His family and school community are remembering him with a special 'Ethan's Wishing Tree' planted in his honor.
A seven-year-old schoolboy from Scotland has lost his battle with cancer. Little Ethan Hunter from Edinburgh was diagnosed with an aggressive tumor on his right shoulder in 2021 at the age of four, just a few months after the birth of his twin brothers, Harvey and Ronan. He was later diagnosed with secondary cancer around his brain and down his spine, with his family being told he may only have a few weeks left. He sadly passed away around 1.
30 am on July 14, 2024, leaving his family and school teachers heartbroken. Now, an oak tree has been planted at Frogston Primary named 'Ethan's Wishing Tree'. Planned by support teacher Amanda Brand, who worked closely with Ethan, the tree allows those close to the young boy to tie ribbons onto the memorial each year on his birthday or when they miss him. She told Edinburgh Live: 'The tree is to bring peace, and help the family through their grief. It's also a testament to how honored I am to have cared for Ethan and that he will never be forgotten.' Ethan's mum, Kimberley, previously said: 'It’s amazing, when you lose your child, you just want to make sure they are still remembered and their memory lives on. His brothers are starting school next year too so it will be really special for them. 'Ethan adored school and he adored Amanda - they had such a great relationship. They were so supportive right from the beginning. Anything he needed they would be there.
