This story is captivating. Just when my faith in humanity is at low ebb, something like this comes along. This kid will have this memory for the rest of his life. All the pictures I have seen show the tens of thousands that supported him. I was reading last night that it went viral, on a global scale. I also read that the server for Make a Wish crashed due to the volume of traffic.

Make a Wish went above and beyond on this one, it was their most elaborate wish to date. What made it magical though was how the public got involved. I read an interesting view on it here;
