And this is surely a top personal moment for Hammond and for one little girl with a terminal illness from Herefordshire: the Hamster visited eight-year-old Emilia Palmer, who suffers from a degenerative lung disease, and took her for a spin in a bright pink Lamborghini Aventador Roadster last weekend.
Emilia’s dream was to ride in a pink Lamborghini with Hammond — and the youngster’s wish came true through the efforts of the Rays of Sunshine charity, which arranged for the Hammond visit – and for the temporary pink spray paint on the Aventador.
Hammond appeared at Emilia’s home — with the car — and drove her to an airstrip where the youngster experienced some serious speed on the tarmac with her favorite TV host.
“Emilia had an incredible time,” said Emilia’s mother Rachel, according to the Ledbury Reporter. “The fact that the wish was turned around so quickly, meant that she was still physically able to enjoy it.”
“There was every chance she could have been shy, but she chatted non-stop,” said Hammond. “It is truly inspiring how brave people are – an inspiring, positive, unique and uplifting occasion.”
