Default SF Batkid

Today, a 5-year-old leukemia patient named Miles gets to have the best day ever. Today he is… Batkid.

The Bay Area Make-a-Wish Foundation turned Miles’s wish to be Batkid into an elaborate reality today, and transformed parts of San Francisco into Gotham City. Here’s a rough itinerary, though you never know what last-minute bat signals he might get:

As part of his special day, Batkid is driving around San Francisco in his Batmobile, and his adventures include rescuing a damsel-in-distress from cable-car tracks, capturing the Riddler in the act of robbing a downtown vault, and rescuing the San Francisco mascot Lou Seal from the clutches of The Penguin. The day’s final stop is at City Hall where Mayor Ed Lee congratulates Miles on his daring feats of justice and presents him with a key to the city.

There is a live stream of the day here http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/live

Although it has been showing the bottom of a helicopter for a while now, going by the comments he is taking a break and its still live.

Brilliant story though
