Last Friday our care for a little Riley Merrill made the teatime telly headlines.
ITV Calendar kept his heart-warming story for their final slot before the weekend, after previewing it in advance many times.
The item featured the lovely relationship between our nurse Lola Duncan and Riley's family during his many visits for care with us.
Asked how much better Lola made his hospital treatment on a scale of 1-10 the youngster from Mixenden said "10,000 times better".
Lola is on a mission via social media to help the youngster achieve his dreams. It started with an upgraded seat to a Jess Glynne concert, a Facetime chat with his idol and now, it seems, the sky's the limit.
Lola, a paediatric nurse has worked at CHFT since 2000. She started as a nurse cadet, qualifying in 2005. Lola said: "The whole of the team will go above and beyond to make sure our patients' stays or visits are as smooth as possible.
"It can be such a daunting thing for a child coming into hospital, but I've spent such a lot of time with Riley, and I have to say I have a real soft spot for him. He's definitely my buddy!"
Lots of lovely comments were shared on social media about Riley and Lola, see below:
