Default Batkid to the rescue!

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/l...#axzz2kr06qXHk

The Make-a-Wish Foundation made a 5 year old's dream come true. He's always wanted to be Batkid. The city of San Francisco (became Gotham City for a day), it's residents, Mayor and even President Obama all got involved and helped make Miles a hero. Miles is in remission now and has battled leukemia since he was 18 months old.

How great is this! Events like this restore my faith in humanity. (made me cry too)

YOU GO, MILES!

I saw that, nearly bought a tear to the eye, in these days of lots of bad stuff happening, nice to see a story like this.

Yeah that was awesome! The Make a Wish Foundation does a hell of a lot of great stuff that we don't hear about but that one really takes the cake!
I can't believe the number of people who came out to look and join in the festivities.
