Kindness paid back with superhero treatment

A young boy’s selfless wish for his sister was paid back with a superhero gesture.

2DayFM Breakfast's Nath Roye and Emma Chow brought a little superhero magic to Camden this morning, giving the seven year-old Jack the ultimate Really Cool Ride to School – complete with the iconic Batmobile, a red-carpet arrival in front of 600 cheering schoolmates and emotional surprises that left his family in tears.

Even though the attention was on Jack, behind the incredible surprise was an especially moving family story.

Jack's beloved 16-year-old sister Olivia has been in palliative care for the past two years following a cardiac arrest.

When asked at school to share his three Christmas wishes, Jack wished for Olivia to walk and talk again, for her to get better, and for her to have unlimited wishes so she could wish for whatever made her happiest. He didn’t make one wish was for himself.

So, Nath and Emma decided it was time to give Jack a day that was entirely about him.

In an emotional moment in front of the school, Jack's mum Megan joined him alongside Nath & Emma on stage, sharing just how much the morning meant to their family and how deserving Jack was of a day dedicated entirely to him.

But the surprises were only just beginning! With Megan in tears and Jack completely speechless, a wagon overflowing with toys and high-tech gadgets was wheeled out – all for him! Among the incredible gifts were a Nintendo Switch, JBL speaker, tickets to KATSEYE's Wild World Tour, Taronga Zoo and Sydney Action Park.

And in one final unforgettable surprise, a personal video message from Jack's footy idol, South Sydney Rabbitohs star and NRL record try-scorer Alex Johnston, played on the big screen in front of the entire school, making an already extraordinary morning even more special.

It  was one of many events from 2DayFM's Really Cool Ride to School initiative,
