The Make-a-Wish Foundation website is down on Friday amid San Francisco being transformed into Gotham for a boy who has leukemia.

The boy, 5-year-old Miles Scott, aka Batkid, has been going around the city with the help of Batman, freeing a damsel in distress, and saving a kidnapped mascot.

The foundation partnered with city officials to give Miles the day as BatKid.

“We’re sorry, we are currently experiencing technical difficulties due to interest in the Batkid wish,” read a message on the foundation’s website. “Please check back.”

Miles was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 18 months old and ended treatments in June.

His father, Nick Scott, thanked the Greater Bay Area Make-A-Wish Foundation and the estimated 7,000 people who will help make his son’s wish come true.

“All the doctors, nurses and all the other parents that have to deal with the same thing we’re going through. I hope they get a conclusion to their illnesses like we’re getting,” Nick Scott told KGO-TV.
