Kye, a 7-year-old boy from Arlington, Texas, usually spends his days fighting against leukemia. Last weekend, the Arlington Police and Fire Departments and A Wish With Wings helped Kye spend the day fighting crime instead.
Arlington came together and channeled its inner Gotham City to make Kye’s day great. With the boy in the lead as Batman, scenarios were set up around the city for Kye to bust in and save the day. He stopped the elusive Joker mid-bank robbery, disarmed the Riddler’s car bomb, and foiled a purse snatcher.
At the end of the day, Kye received the key to the city for his bravery. Not only did he live out every kid’s superhero dream, he did it side by side with the everyday superheroes of his town.
