Remember Batkid? He's officially been cancer-free for 5 years

In 2013, 5-year-old Miles Scott was battling leukemia and had one wish: to be Batkid for a day. His wish came true — he got to suit up as his favorite super hero and "save" the city of San Francisco five years ago. His story went viral and now, it has an even happier ending. Miles has officially been cancer-free for five years. The now-10-year-old has returned to being a "typical kid," the Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area announced on its website. "Miles has returned to being a typical kid — playing Little League, going to school, helping his family farm and even selling his first market goat in the local fair!" the organization said. The fifth-grader has also developed an affinity for science and robotics. When Miles first asked Make-A-Wish to be Batkid to forget his illness for a day, the entire city transformed into Gotham as the little hero met with police to help "fight crime."While thousands of people cheered him on, Miles freed the San Francisco Giants mascot Lou Seal, which even earned him a key to the city. News of his heroism made its way to the White House and prompted President Barack Obama to record a message for the hero. In 2015, a documentary, "Batkid Begins," was released, which chronicled Miles's life from his diagnosis to his superhero turn. The day he spent as Batkid was particularly special because it also marked the end of his treatments. Today, Miles only has to visit an oncologist yearly. This means the retired crime fighter can spend more time being a brother to his two siblings. Check out a story from 2013, when Batkid made his rescue mission in the related video above.
