Electron Boy is ready to save the day in his High Voltage, his crime fighting Delorean!  That says "Electron Boy" on the hood and the circular thing is his symbol.  Interestingly, one of his powers is the ability to open the doors of his Delorean.  The owner has door poppers and a remote in her pocket.  When he makes the command, the doors open themselves.

NEAT STUFF!   :D :D

[DARTH MAUL]

That is amazing! Talk about making a kid's dream come true! Very impressed by all the people that helped him today. This sort of thing is why I'm joining the Rebel Legion to help brighten a kid's day when we do events. Really cool that the lightsaber you gave him was the center piece for his powers as well!

[Rosebudteg]

Just wanted to give you all an update on Electron Boy.

He got to appear on Evening Magazine here in WA.  They even added some lightsaber sound effects to the show for him.   :)

http://www.king5.com/on-tv/evening-magazine/Electron-boy-capturing-hearts-around-the-world-93331724.html

On August 28th, 2010 he received the "Golden Scarf" from the Seattle Sounders FC, whom are the soccer team that he helped save on his wish day.

Now the bummer news.

He doesn't have long left.  The doctor's have taken him off treatment and have now switched focus to pain management.  I'm really hoping he can make it to Christmas, but they had him celebrate his birthday (December 10th) two months early because they question whether he'll make it to his real birthday.

So send some thoughts his way.

Another update, this one much more depressing.

Electron Boy passed yesterday, September 16, 2011 at around 11AM at the age of 14.  

The newspaper story.

The obituary.

Rest in peace, Electron Boy.  You will be missed.   :'(

[LUMINARA UNDULI]

So sorry to hear this :'(.  RIP :'(.

[Darth Smorgis]

I don't know how I missed this thread. 
What an amazing thing everyone did for this boy.  I can only imagine the excitement he must have experienced durring that event.
So sorry to hear about his passing. :(

Makes me want to get involved in something like this.
