Local boy with cancer turns into a superhero for a day Read the entire article here: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2011740342_electronboy30m.html This was the best story I have read all year. Big KUDOS as usual to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for pulling something so elaborate off.
These were some more details about the disease and problems Electron Boy has had to deal with, per Fox News: Breaks my heart... Link: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/01/20/despite-illness-electron-boy-helps-need/
Oh, its cute that they also give him some medals/ awards for this day. Anyways, I bet this is one of the things that ever happened to that boy. Hope this event will make him stronger to fight his sickness.
