1394 Wishing Elves

Miles Scott, who lives in San Francisco, is five years old, but he never really enjoyed the joy and happiness of his childhood in his memory, because at the age of one and a half, he was diagnosed with leukemia, requiring chemotherapy every month, a lumbar puncture every three months, and a series of side effects of low immunity, which turned him into a fragile glass doll.

While the other children were playing on the lawn and running in the sun, Miles could only stay at home, suffering from illness, and when he was in good health, he could play with toys by himself, and the only thing that accompanied him was the TV, and when he saw Batman on the TV for the first time, he immediately liked the superhero -

Because Batman doesn't have any superpowers, but he still uses his ability to constantly fight crime and never give up, which makes Miles find his own shadow in Batman, and he also longs for himself to become Batman, overcome those diseases, and become a superhero.

Then, last fall, Miles saw that sea of brilliant gold, and he got to know football for the first time, and he met Ryan Baldwin, he met Lu Ke, he met the San Francisco 49ers, and he ...... Well, he was deeply moved. Patricia is telling the story of Miles, and even though Patricia has seen countless similar stories as the executive director of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the softness of her heart has never disappeared, and this is the source of her persistent efforts to help those children.

Patricia looked at Lu Ke, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "He said, it turns out that there are so many ordinary superheroes in this world who are defeating themselves and defeating evil, even if they know that the end is heaven, they will never give up and do their best to fight to the end." ”

He said that he wanted to be a member of the Golden Ocean, to be part of the Nine, to accompany Ryan in battle, and to follow in Bambi's footsteps, because that made him believe that with perseverance and hard work, his dreams would eventually come true, and that one day he could become Batman? Patricia's eyes shone brightly, and involuntarily, her voice choked slightly.

Earlier this year, when the San Francisco 49ers went undefeated to the Super Bowl, Myers witnessed the moment of victory in front of the TV, and then he filled out the application and wrote down his wish: he wanted to be the real Batman and stand on the Candlestick field to play alongside the San Francisco 49ers. Patricia paused for a moment, sorted out her thoughts, and then saw the tissue handed over by Lu Ke.

Patricia took the tissue and said with a slight embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I've always been too emotional, God, please forgive my faux pas." But really, really believe me, my job is very professional. ”

A small joke made both Lu Ke and Trent chuckle.

Patricia then continued, "To be honest, we didn't know how to accomplish this wish, and although we really wanted to help Miles, the project changed hands twice within the organization and still didn't get a clue, it wasn't a simple sponsorship issue, and in the end, the project came to me - because everyone in our organization didn't want to give up. ”

"Personally, I really, really want to be able to make that happen, because it will not only convince Myers, but also convince ourselves that miracles are real, that dreams will come true eventually, just like the San Francisco 49ers had a perfect season at the top." Patricia's ordinary appearance, but because of the focus and engaged eyes, the whole person bloomed with indescribable dazzling light.

"In the beginning, we didn't have any big ambitions, we just wanted to have a party at Candlestick Park, you know, invite some of Myers' good friends, and then have a great day with the people in the superhero uniforms, the fans in the San Francisco 49ers home jersey — because we knew how crazy Myers' wishes were, and it was really hard and hard to execute."

Then, Patricia saw Lu Ke gently shake his head in denial, which made her laugh happily, "What, do you have any opinions you want to express?" ”

"Miles wants to be Batman, not a kid's party; Miles wanted to be a warrior and really fight alongside Ryan and the Nine, not a child's play. Lu Ke expressed his opinion seriously, "Patricia, I didn't mean to disrespect you......

Patricia waved her hand to show that she didn't mind.

Lu Ke continued, "The world of adults is always like this, bullying children for not having the ability to resist, and then making countless unfulfilled promises to children, for example, telling children that we can go on vacation, only to have a barbecue in the backyard; For example, telling a child that we can go to Disneyland ends up being just a mobile circus in the town next door. Adults always think that children seem to be very easily satisfied, so they deceive them about this, which is not right. If you can't do it, then don't make a promise, even in the face of children, the weight of a promise is far heavier than you think. ”

"With such a good wish, it deserves a happy ending, doesn't it?" Lu Ke's eyes looked at Patricia sincerely, and said sincerely,

In the face of Lu Ke's blunt rebuttal, Patricia not only did not get angry, but also gave Lu Ke a round of applause, "I have exactly the same idea as you. Either that, we choose to give up and tell Miles that we can't do it, and that there are still many dreams in this world that cannot be achieved even if we work hard; But if we choose to execute, it has to be in place. ”

"That's why I'm here today." Patricia looked at Lu Ke with a resolute gaze, "In order to help Miles achieve his dream, I need your help. ”

Lu Ke didn't speak, but just met Patricia's scrutiny with firm eyes, and expressed his willingness with practical actions.

Patricia didn't expect things to go so smoothly, which made her nose sour slightly, and she quickly calmed down, and she began to tell her true proposal.

"I thought if I could make San Francisco Gotham Town, and then really make Miles Batman and save Gotham's day. We need the support of the town hall because it may be necessary to occupy public roads; We also need the support of volunteers to play a variety of characters and make the whole city a scene in the comics, from the custom costumes, the process design, the location arrangement, and even the Batmobile, we all need to be the best at what Miles has to be. ”

"The final end of the whole plan is Candlestick Stadium, but we all know that once the regular season starts, the team needs to sprint to the goal of defending the title, and no one wants to interrupt the team's rhythm, which is the hope of Miles and the hope of the whole city; So, our original plan was to borrow the pitch when the team was away and then have Miles don Bambi's jersey and play the extras for an official game with as little disruption as possible. ”

Admire!

In addition to admiration or admiration!

It's really hard for Patricia, who is truly like a fairy, making the impossible possible, from the idea of the plan to the specific execution, it is awe-inspiring! This society and the world are precisely because of this small warmth, and have beauty, even if the reality is dark and difficult, that hope has never disappeared.

"We secured Trent's consent for this plan." Patricia added.

Lu Ke cast his gaze at Trent - he was a little surprised, because the team had never heard of relevant rumors, Trent nodded and affirmed: such a charitable cause, and it will not affect the team's preparation, they have no reason to refuse; The reason why I didn't tell the players for the time being is mainly because the players don't need to be involved for the time being, and when the time comes, it will be enough for the players to show up.

Patricia continued, "We conceived the scale of the event, 200 to 300 people should be enough, and in addition to the extras, we also needed some citizens and volunteers to participate in the event to ensure that the event ran smoothly, so that we could maximize Miles' wishes without creating too much burden, so we set up a website for volunteers to sign up." ”

"In fact, we've done a pretty good job and have now overrecruited nearly 400 volunteers, far more than is needed, which can already ensure a perfect Gotham transformation." Patricia's face once again showed a smile, and the support and help of those volunteers just proved that the existence of the "Make-A-Wish Foundation" is valuable, because there are still many people in this society who are willing to share their warmth.

Wait, now that everything has been prepared, what is the reason why Patricia made a special trip to visit Lu Ke today, and even waited for so long?

Obviously, there is still one piece missing from the wish puzzle: fighting side by side with Lu Ke, does this mean that Patricia officially invited Lu Ke to help Miles fulfill his wish? However, if you choose the day to play away, Lu Ke may not be able to be in San Francisco, is it here to adjust the schedule?

Many different conjectures were surging in Lu Ke's mind, and the reporter's instincts/abilities were about to move, but in the end, Lu Ke still didn't ask, but patiently waited for Patricia to tell all the information.

Patricia seemed to have felt the curiosity and excitement in Lu Ke's eyes, she couldn't help laughing, and cast her gaze towards Trent, "This is the happiest moment in my work, whenever I see kind people like Bambi, I can always feel that pure warmth, we are all trying our best to lend a hand, even if it is just the faintest bit of warmth, it can become the fire that ignites other people's lives." It's really a blessing for our team to have a quarterback like that. ”
