Brother Ethan, 7, writes book for charity

A PERTH youngster has published a book to raise money for a specialist charity that supports his little brother.

Seven-year-old Ethan Scott, wrote The Amazing Ross to raise funds for spina bifida hydrocephalus (SBH Scotland).

The charity helps care for his threeyear-old brother Jackson, who was born with hydrocephalus, which causes a buildup of fluid on the brain.

The support shown by SBH Scotland since Jackson’s birth has made Ethan put pen to paper to show his appreciation.

After writing the words and drawing the illustrations, Ethan also took to the streets to sell copies to local residents.

Since it was released, more than 40 have been sold, raising more than £200.

The boys’ mother, Jenni, spoke about the support the charity has shown and Ethan’s amazing creativity.

She said: “SBH Scotland has offered incredible support. It has been so important just knowing the charity is always there for us and has been from the very start.

“Ethan is such a creative and thoughtful big brother. I could not be prouder of him for taking on this project.”

Fundraising director for the charity, Deborah Roe, said: “We love seeing all the creative ways our supporters fundraise for our organisation and we can’t thank Ethan enough for his help.”
