Chelmsford: Ambulance staff delight young cancer patient Ellis Wild
KIND-hearted ambulance service staff took time out from their time off to help ease a little boy who is fighting a rare form of cancer's anxiety before his latest hospital treatment.
East of England Ambulance Trust paramedic Darren Jensen and senior emergency medical technician Lloyd Shorting came in on a rest day to collect a vehicle before visiting Ellis Wild at his home in Writtle.
During the day they showed Ellis, who is battling stage four neuroblastoma, the equipment and ambulance - giving him a certificate of bravery as well as a raft of gifts donated by colleagues.
