Topic: Batkid!!!!!!

Here's your feel good story of the year! 5 year old Miles Scott from Siskiyou County in NorCal has been battling Leukemia since he was a year old. Thankfully he is currently in remission and to celebrate the Make A Wish Foundation granted his wish to be a Super Hero for a day. An estimated 12,000 volunteers joined together to transform San Francisco into Gotham City for a day of crime stopping by BatKid. Grab some Kleenex and watch BatKid in action.

Re: Batkid!!!!!!

Saw this story on the news this morning - probably the best "feel good" story of the year.  So nice to see how many awesome and nice folks left in this world.
