Six Seminole County emergency rescue agencies went above and beyond to make Christmas special for two young boys with cancer.
- Grayson, Phi became friends while getting cancer treatments
- Seminole County first responders made special visit
Fire trucks, police cars, helicopters and even Santa riding on a motorcycle surprised Grayson Zrelak and Phi Luong Thursday afternoon.
The two young boys are battling cancer. Grayson is stage three and Phi is stage four.
The pair became friends during their many visits to Florida Hospital South to receive treatment.
Both boys are big fans of the fire department and police.
"I have met a lot of the police officers, I liked going in the giant fire truck, that was fun," said Grayson.
"When they heard all the sirens they are like, 'holy cow!'" said Carl and Michelle Zrelak, Grayson's parents. "Then you see all the police officers and fire fighters, truly amazing. Absolutely spectacular! They go from these highs and then to lows when they are on chemo and then radiation. They have these really bad days, and it really wipes then out for a good day, day and a half sometimes."
It was a day for the boys to forget about the stresses of life.
Along with getting to climb into all the law enforcement vehicles, they also were given a mound of presents.
Phi's family and Grayson's family have each set up websites to help them pay for the boy's treatments. Go to Phi's page or Grayson's page if you would like to help.
