Over the week it was reported that five year-old Miles Scott “Batkid” is returning to San Francisco this Saturday to cheer on other people at the “Brave the Bay,” event presented by the San Francisco Police Dept. Here is a small part of the story from NBC BAY AREA by Lisa Fernandez
.
Batkid, aka Miles, will lead the “Santa Walk” with his family, who recently set up a “Batkid Fund” to support three groups that helped him during his treatment.
The shy kindergartener with bright blue eyes was last in town on Nov. 15 when he was the recipient of an internationally inspiring volunteer effort, noted by everyone from the Harlem Globetrotters to President Obama.
While sick with leukemia – from which he is now in remission – Miles told the Make-A-Wish people that he wanted to be “Batman for a day.” He was able to realize his dreams and beyond when 12,000 volunteers got wind of his request, and the city of San Francisco morphed into Gotham City for a day.
Now, Miles is helping the police officers realize their goal to raise $75,000 to help grant wishes for 357 children with life-threatening medical conditions. Organizers are hoping to help 10 children on Saturday alone.
