Edmonton Oilers captain Andrew Ference went missing on Monday. Luckily, SpiderMable saved the day.

Mable Tooke is a six-year-old who has acute lymphoblastic leukemia and a strong love of Spiderman. The Children’s Wish Foundation, NHL and mayor of Edmonton worked together to give Mable an unforgettable experience:

With full access to the city, she embarked on a journey for justice. The whole project blew up on social media, and a community much greater than Edmonton got behind her:
