HAMPSHIRE, England — It was likely the best birthday gift 5-year-old Jayden has ever received, on what might be the last birthday he is able to celebrate.
Jayden is fighting a grade 4 brain stem tumor and his father, Mike Wilson, says doctors tell the family the average survival rate is about a year.
That’s why Mike dreamed up an incredible surprise for his son’s birthday.
Jayden loves Spider-Man.
As Jayden’s family began his birthday party, Mike suddenly had to ‘run to the store’ and left. Mike was actually donning the Spider-Man costume and climbing to the roof of the family home.
When Mike gave the signal, the family ushered little Jayden outside. Spider-Man dropped from above to wish him a happy birthday and sweep him into a huge hug.
Then Jayden invited Spider-Man into the house, and into the best birthday party ever.
Mike says he’s proud to have been able to do this for his son.
The family has set up a special Facebook page to follow Jayden’s fight.
