Very heart-warming story. Basically a whole bunch of people got together to help a boy be a superhero for the day.

One of the cutest things ive ever seen! one of the greatest stories ive ever heard, amazing all the co-operation they had from everyone especially the Sounders! Eventually i want to see a kid from the make a wish foundation sign a one day contract in the NFL or something, or kneel the ball at the end of a game
