5-Year-Old Gets To Be Ghostbuster For A Day In Old Sac [VIDEO]
Longdon Green is a 5-year-old who credits the Ghostbusters movies with helping him through recovery after 4 heart surgeries, so Make-A-Wish helped him become a Ghostbuster in Old Sac.

London Green was born without a pulmonary artery. Long story short, the valves in his heart were sort of tangled up, and there was a hole in the bottom. London is just 5-years-old, and has already had four heart surgeries. Doctors got him in good shape though, and then the Make-A-Wish foundation stepped in to give London the surprise of a lifetime. London fell in love with the Ghostbusters movies, which I definitely can’t blame him, they’re absolute classics. The movies helped him through all the surgeries and recovery, and he’s become an absolute superfan. Make-A-Wish set up a ghost hunt using Old Sac, and they went all-out.

He even got his own personalized suit, and some gear to hunt those ghosts with! This will be the best Halloween costume ever! Mayor Darrell Steinberg was there, too. To show his appreciation for ridding Sacramento of ghosts, the Mayor handed London a key to the city, as well. How cool!
Thrilled to hand the keys to the @TheCityofSac this morning to 5-year-old London, who had just vanquished The Marshmallow Man as part of his Make A @MakeAWishCANV dream of becoming a Ghostbuster. Such a strong boy, and such a beautiful smile. @oldsacramento is a safer place now! pic.twitter.com/PA3ox51ESD
