The people of San Francisco turned out in their thousands to greet leukemia survivor, Miles Scott, in the guise of Batkid. The city looked on as the 5-year-old realized his wish to be Batman for a day battling mock crimes across San Francisco. Miles, who is now in remission after several years of treatment for Leukemia, was met with a surprise when he arrived in San Francisco to collect a costume of his favorite superhero. The Make-A-Wish foundation had organized a day of crime-fighting antics for the pint-sized superhero. Local media estimated that at least 7,000 people took to the street to cheer Batkid on as he embarked upon his crime-fighting mission in a black Lamborghini emblazoned with the Batman logo accompanied by the caped crusader himself.
This was such a heartfelt story to read! So many people turned out to make this little boy's dream come true. Miles is an inspiration to us all. He fought leukemia for 4 years and still thinks he isn't a super hero. Even President Obama recognized Miles for his dedication to the city of San Francisco. This little boy's story is appropriate for all audiences and should put our problems in perspective.
I saw this story on the news over the weekend and I thought that it was amazing! It's great to hear that Miles is in remission after going through such a long and tough battle with leukemia. Also I applaud the city of San Francisco for coming together and creating this day for Miles and for so many volunteers being there to cheer him on.
ReplyDeleteAwh, how cute! I'm so glad that Miles is in remission. No child should ever have to go through any type of sickness. The fact that so many San Fran citizens showed up for him makes me really happy! I'm sure he was really happy as well.
