San Francisco to turn into Gotham City for 5-year-old with cancer
ON 15 NOVEMBER San Francisco will turn into a real-life Gotham City to make the wish of a five-year-old cancer sufferer come true.
Miles, who suffers from leukemia, wants to be a superhero for a day – specifically Batkid.
The Make A Wish Foundation is organising a series of events involving the chief of police, City Hall and members of the public, who will all help Miles to catch the villainous Mr P.
Here’s how it will go down…

Batkid will save Lou Seal, and then head to City Hall where the Mayor and the Chief of Police will present him with a key to the city, and a huge crowd will cheer him on
