For years, Eileen Sparks enjoyed making doll clothes for her granddaughter and family friends, and after her own battle with cancer, she found a new way to share her talent with some very deserving young patients at the N.C. Cancer Hospital.

The newly established community garden at SECU Family House honors the legacy of the late Zeny Datiles, who was a dietician at UNC Hospitals, and provides a healthy respite -- and fresh vegetables -- for patients and their families.
