Batkid
Batkid is the superhero name of Miles Scott, an American child and cancer survivor. His wish was to be "Batkid", a sidekick of the eponymous comic book superhero Batman, the subject of books, radio, television, and films. Once the request went out, thousands of volunteers, city officials, businesses and supporters rallied to turn San Francisco, California into "Gotham City" - the fictional home city of Batman - on November 15, 2013 for one of the largest and most elaborate Make-A-Wish projects ever staged.
Batkid took part in staged events including several crime scenarios, and received the key to the city from San Francisco mayor Ed Lee. President Obama and other elected officials, and representatives from law enforcement also took part, and the ''San Francisco Chronicle'', the city's main newspaper, produced a "''Gotham City Chronicle''" in honor of the efforts with the headline "Batkid Saves City: Hooded hero nabs Riddler, rescues damsel in distress."
==Background==
Miles Scott is a cancer survivor from Tulelake, northern California near the border of Oregon. He was diagnosed with lymphoblastic leukemia - a form of leukemia, or cancer of the white blood cells characterized by excess lymphoblasts - at 18 months old.〔 In chemotherapy treatment for several years he is now in remission, and the celebration is in honor of his completing treatments,〔〔 the last one was in June 2013. His mother shared that the decision was made to wait until the treatments were complete so that Miles would be strong enough for the day, and also it gave him something to look forward to while undergoing treatments. "This wish has meant closure for our family and an end to over three years of putting toxic drugs in our son's body," said Miles' Mom on the Make-A-Wish site.〔 During his treatments Miles was "fascinated with superheroes. They were crimefighters and saviors. And they always won in the end." When the San Francisco Make-A-Wish asked Miles what he wanted more than anything else, he replied, "I wish to be Batkid."〔
