Batkid to the rescue! - A little boy with leukemia gets his wish
This is the best story I've heard in a while!
http://sf.wish.org/wishes/wish-stori...h-to-be-batkid
Quote:
Today, Miles is getting his wish of becoming Batkid! Miles may only be 5 years old but he is fighting a very adult battle. Miles has leukemia. He is a bright, positive, little boy who finds inspiration in super-heroes. Miles told Make-A-Wish he wanted to be Batkid, and today is his big day!
The day begins with a breaking news story. San Francisco’s Police Chief asks if anyone knows the whereabouts of Batkid. The city needs his help to fight crime and capture villains! Our little Batkid, along with Batman, is ready to answer the call.
As part of his special day, Batkid is driving around San Francisco in his Batmobile, and his adventures include rescuing a damsel-in-distress from cable-car tracks, capturing the Riddler in the act of robbing a downtown vault, and rescuing the San Francisco mascot Lou Seal from the clutches of The Penguin. The day’s final stop is at City Hall where Mayor Ed Lee congratulates Miles on his daring feats of justice and presents him with a key to the city.

Pretty cool! Hope he's able to beat it. Always hurts to see kids with cancer.

This is just awkward. The Penguin guy keeps pretending to run away, and trying to entice the kid to chase him, but the kid just keeps staring at everyone and not doing very much, lol.
