Today I cannot help but be thankful for organizations like the "
Make A Wish"
foundation. If you have been following along on social media, you will
have seen how some amazing people, the city of San Francisco and the "
Make A Wish"
foundation in southern California granted a 5 year old boy his wish to
be his favorite superhero for a day. Cancer survivor Miles, who is also
known as "Batkid" or #SFBatkid has spent the day rescuing all sorts of
people from the traditional Batman villains and their pranks. I've seen
Penguin and the Riddler and even Robin (Miles' little brother) along
with the San Francisco Giants, San Fransisco Police Department and even
President Obama be involved in this amazing day of granting Miles'
wish. What a dream come true for this little guy - and also all of the
people involved as Miles took his role very seriously and kept "Gotham
City" very safe today. To all of you who made this little boys day,
week, year - heck, even LIFE - thank you!
A little
closer to home, the "Make A Wish" foundation touched our family when a
close family friend was granted her wish to visit Disneyland and the
Disney studios where she could learn about animation in hopes of one day
becoming an animator. And that she is!
And just a
couple of years ago, the same foundation granted a wish for a young boy
living with cancer who resides just outside Edmonton. Nathan received a
giant skate park with every "feature" (insert a lot of skater lingo
here) in his backyard - something every young boy would drool over.

To organizations like "Make A Wish", thank you for
what you do. You have helped so many families with children struggling
with serious illnesses. And today you helped me to smile. I smiled A
LOT and shared today's amazing story with so many people. Thank you.
