Five Year-Old Cancer Survivor Makes San Francisco a Lot Safer As “Batkid” [Video]

When a very brave young cancer survivor made a wish to fight crime for a day as Batman, he became our new national hero!

Five year-old Miles Scott has been fighting leukemia for most of his young life, so when the opportunity to have a dream come true through the Make A Wish Foundation, the young cancer survivor said that he would like to spend a day fighting crime instead, as Batman.

The city of San Francisco made it happen for Miles, with a full day of non-stop, crime fighting action!

Have you, or someone you know ever had a great experience with the Make A Wish Foundation? We would love to hear about it in the comments section below.
