VIDEO: First responders from all over joined in for an extra special escort for a 7-year-old from Cranston who completed his final cancer treatment at Hasbro Children's Hospital Wednesday.
Last April, in the heart of the pandemic, Rebekah Neri -- a patrol officer with the Cranston Police Department alongside her husband David, who's a lieutenant with the Cranston Fire Department -- wanted to do something special for their son Lorenzo who was about to complete his final treatment for leukemia.
"We were looking for a way to make this last day special, so we asked our friends in law enforcement to cheer for him when he got out of the hospital," said David. "What our departments did for us was well over and beyond when we came outside from his last treatment. There were fire trucks, police cars, motorcycles, which all escorted us by our headquarters where department members and friends were cheering for Lorenzo and then to our house."
