You no doubt have heard of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the wonderful wishes they have granted for children with life-threatening medical conditions. There have been a number of kids who have had San Francisco themed wishes.
An 18-year-old who had been battling lymphoma wanted to meet Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants a few years back. Not only did Timmy hang out with the young fan, he pitched a winning game and made a wish come true.
Next month there will be a much more elaborate wish realized here in San Francisco. A little five-year-old boy from Tulelake in Northern California has been fighting leukemia. His wish though is to fight crime and that's pretty much what he will do when San Francisco turns into Gotham City for a day. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee will present the youngster with a key to the city in a special ceremony at City Hall after a day of crime fighting that will include the Joker, the Riddler, and Penguin. Thousands of people have already signed up to participate in various ways. This really sounds exciting.
