When Mable Tooke had a chance to choose anything from The Children's Wish Foundation of Canada, she asked to spend a day swinging around Edmonton, Alberta, with her favorite superhero Spider-Man who like her has radioactive blood.
Mable woke up Monday morning to watch a spoof TV newscast in which police called on SpiderMable to help save the city and rescue kidnapped Edmonton Oilers hockey captain Andrew Ference. Several police officers, Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson and a costumed Spider-Man helped SpiderMable enjoy what she called a "pretty cool" experience.
Her dad, Neil Tooke told the Edmonton Journal: "It's an opportunity for her to just forget about the hospital, forget about procedures. Just be a kid again."
A similar event organized in 2013 in San Francisco for Batkid, 5-year-old leukemia patient Miles Scott, touched hearts around the world.
