| Alex becomes Robin for a day: Cr; Make a Wish Foundation |
This is the kind of story I really love, being a big superhero fan. It's things like this that really make me enjoy dressing up as the Green Lantern during Comic-con - giving kids a big thrill. This story is from California, where the Make-A-Wish Foundation gave a little boy with Leukemia a chance to be a superhero in a big way! - Rob Inquistor and KTLA-TV News:
A 7-year-old boy battling leukemia got a very special gift from the Make a Wish Foundation and the Anaheim, CA police department earlier this week.
On Monday, the Make-A-Wish foundation turned young Alex Lelenoa into a superhero for a day. Alex was diagnosed with Leukemia three years ago and his big wish was to become Robin, Batman’s sidekick.
To help make his dream a reality an Anaheim police officer showed up at the young boys door dressed as Batman. The officer then asked Alex to help him fight crime. The crime-fighting duo then loaded up in the original Batmobile and drove to Buena Park, CA, where a cast of characters dressed as pirates were waiting for a fight.
Alex and the officer fought the bad guys and then went on their way after a fun and swift victory.
