Nick Looney is a second grader fighting cancer but he became Red Lightning today thanks to Make-A-Wish.
After two years of battling a disease, Nick fulfilled his dream of becoming a superhero.
Thanks Nick for your bravery and Red Lightning for saving Seattle’s music scene. Macklemore was among the Seattle music icons who sent thank you messages to the young hero.
