Interactive ambulance offer for twins’ hospital journey

The man who established the world’s first interactive ambulance service for sick children has offered to transport twins born with a rare life-threatening condition to London for a vital procedure.

Tony Heffernan, whose daughter Saoirse died from Batten disease in Jan 2011, and whose son Liam is in the final stages of the incurable disease, confirmed last night that his BUMBLEance service is on standby to drive little Maya and Zoe Murnane and their mum Audrey from their home in Cork to London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital for their Dec 18 procedure.

They will be accompanied door-to-door by two paediatric paramedics.
