love these heartwarming stories in the face of sadness; a little good goes a long way especially for the parents who will always remember this assuming the worst happens
 
Man I'd love to work for the Make A Wish Foundation.

Hope he has a ton of fun and gets a bit of enjoyment in his unfortunate life.
 
I want to play a goon.

I'd let the kid apprehend me. Might even throw in a free shot to the nuts.

 the level of love humans can display when coming together for others leaves me sometimes in awe

This is cool. My friends just passed away because of leukemia, definitely a good look.

Wish I could be there.
 
Just a heads up for Bay Area people that this thing is today. I might go downtown during lunch just to check it out.
 
The events I'm able to attend aren't very spectator friendly. :smh:

Busy during the keys to the city ceremony.

I wish I lived closer to SF. If you do go, maybe you can update how it was? I hope he has a wonderful time
 
I work downtown but I literally only have an hour to kill. I think my best chance is to see it at Union Square but there really is only a quick appearance by the kid and some flash mob.

Here is the full breakdown for people:

http://sf.funcheap.com/makeawish-sf-turns-gotham-city/

The city, along with hundreds of volunteers will be granting the wish of 5-year-old Miles to be Batman. In his daily life, Miles is battling a very real foe in the form of leukemia. He loves superheroes and for one day in November, he will get to be Batman and save Gotham from the evil Penguin.

They plan on having hundreds of volunteers and donors collected to cheer and thank little Batman and a great opportunity to make one little boy’s wish come true. Hat tip: SFist

San Francisco Turns Into Gotham City | Make A WishMake A Wish Day: SF Becomes Gotham City for Miles
Friday, November 15, 2013 | 12:45-2 pm
Union Square or San Francisco City Hall
FREE

>> RSVP to Cheer at City Hall
- Bring hand-made signs of encouragement like “Thank you, Batkid!”

>> RSVP for a Flashmob at Union Square: Join the Official Make-A-Wish Flashmob (Noon to 1 pm)

Catch the action as Miles becomes Batkid in one of several different locations around the city, and cheer him on as he fights crime and battles villains.

Here’s how you can participate:

12:45 pm: Union Square – Look on as a flashmob warns Batkid that Mr. P has kidnapped Lou Seal and see them speed away from Union Square. Please note that Union Square has the ice rink and the Christmas tree, so it’s not going to be as spectator friendly as was originally hoped.
2 pm: A massive celebration at City Hall at 2 pm as SF Mayor, Ed Lee, and the Police Chief present Miles with a key to the city and congratulates him on a job well done. This is the best place for spectators to come cheer as they can handle the crowds.
