JEREMY CLARKSON HELPS MAKE A YOUNG CANCER PATIENT'S DREAMS COME TRUE

Jeremy Clarkson helped to make a young cancer patient's dream come true by giving him a ride in a Lamborghini tractor at Diddly Squat farm.

Joshua, 12, was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, Ewing Sarcoma, in April 2022.

He had 14 rounds of chemotherapy and even spent his 11th birthday and Christmas in hospital before completing his treatment in January 2023.

However, the brave 12-year-old's cancer returned in August last year.

Jeremy Clarkson, 64, helped to make a memorable day recently for Joshua through Taylor-Made Dreams - a charity that helps children with life limiting illnesses.

The former Top Gear presenter gave Joshua and his family a tour of the Diddly Squat farm, in Chipping Norton.

He purchased the farm in 2008 and now even has a television series about it.

Joshua and his family were able to meet the animals including some goats.

What is Ewing Sarcoma? 

  • Ewing Sarcoma is a type of primary bone cancer 
  • It can develop in any bone and soft tissue near bones 
  • Thigh, pelvis, shin, ribs and shoulder blade bones are more commonly affected   
  • Ewing Sarcoma is most often discovered in young adults and teenagers

He even met land agent Charlie Ireland who also stars in the popular show Clarkson's Farm.

Joshua then received some farm shop gifts and held the Stig's helmet from Top Gear.

He even took a ride in Jeremy Clarkson's iconic Lamborghini tractor.

Joshua and his family were visiting with Taylor-Made Dreams which was founded in 2014 and aims to 'bring dreams to life for children with shorter lives'.

A spokesperson for the charity said: 'Last week we organised a very special trip for Joshua to Jeremy Clarkson's Farm!

'We'd like to say a big thank you to Jeremy and everyone at Diddly Squat Farm Shop for being so lovely, they all wanted to make Joshua's experience as good as it could be and they did!

'Joshua and family were smiling all day, we're so glad it was such a good experience for Joshua.'

Joshua's family have a GoFundMe page which can be found here.
