The Arlington (TX) Police and Fire Departments and the Texas-based nonprofit a Wish with Wings joined forces to realize the dream of a young cancer patient who wanted nothing more than to become Batman for a day.
Officers and firefighters, assisted by the Mayor’s Office, organized various comic-inspired crimes around the city requiring the ass-kicking skills of a caped crusader.
Accompanied by police and Big Batman, 7-year-old Kye, who suffers from leukemia, roamed the streets of Arlington as Little Batman, mopping up an attempted bank robbery by the Joker, and putting the kibosh on a city hall bomb planted by the Riddler.
At the end of a long day of crime fighting, Kye was awarded the Key to the City by Assistant Police Chief James Hawthorne.
(via City Helps Fulfill Sick Kid’s Dream Of Becoming Batman For A Day)
Nobody really had any big dreams when I was a kid. Nobody thought that they were going to be anything other than what their father was; nobody ever shot for the stars, so to speak. I sorta retreated into my own fantasy world. You have to to kinda survive. Because if your ideas are bigger than the town you’re in, then you’ve got to get out of there. There’s no nurturing for those kind of ideas in a small town like that.
