SAN FRANCISCO: Crooks
beware; Batkid is fighting crime Friday on the mean streets of San Francisco.
With the help of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the city,
5-years old Miles Scott, aka Batkid, took off from Union Square in the morning
in one of two Batmobiles-black Lamborghinis with Batman decals.
Police escorted the Lamborghinis and closed off roads as
they sped to their first caper: a damsel in distress on a cable car track.
In the process, Miles Scott became a darling of social media
and attracted thousands of fans around the country, including the white House.
“When you have an illness, is very important to know you
have a support system” said Gina Futrell, a 51 year-old with multiple
sclerosis, which was among a large crowd gathered at Union Square for a chance
to so see the “Batkid” in action.

“I have an extremely strong support system and I hope he does
too, he such a little hero”
Miles, who lives in Tulelake in far Northern California, was
diagnosed with leukemia when he was 18 month old. Ended treatment in June and
is in remission.
His father, NickScott, thanked the Greater Bay Area
Make-A-Wish Foundation and the estimated 7.000 people who will help make his
son’s wish come true.
