This story comes from the Daily Northwestern: When more than 20 police cars and fire trucks rolled up to the street where 10-year-old Julian Sims lives, it was a scene that confused him at first. But when the officers and firefighters arrived at his front door with balloons and gifts, he realized they were there for him — and for a very special reason. “We want to show him we’re 110 percent behind him,†said Evanston Police Officer Heidi Bernhardt, who helped organize the event. On Thursday, EPD officers and members of the Evanston Fire Department participated in a motorcade, blocking off the 1500 block of Church Street for a surprise visit to Julian’s home. The gesture was meant to celebrate the news that Julian had found a bone marrow match, just two months ago. Julian, a fifth grader at Dewey Elementary School, was diagnosed with leukemia back in October 2013. Since then, the Sims family has been working tirelessly to find a match for a transplant, holding bone marrow drives and raising funds to get people tested. Their hard work finally paid off, and now Julian is preparing to start his transplant process on Friday. As he moves into the hospital for over a month, he’ll be confined to a room with no visitors except his parents. To help make this time easier, the police and fire departments raised over $3,000 in gifts for Julian and his family. Among the items were gift cards, Chicago Blackhawks memorabilia, and Xbox Live games so Julian could stay connected with friends and his younger brother, Miles. “I was blown away,†said Rich Sims, Julian’s father. “I had no idea it was going to be that big and with so many people.†The day of the visit, officers lined up outside the Sims’ house to greet Julian and shake his hand. He received a special police uniform top, complete with a personalized ID tag, and a t-shirt signed by all the firefighters. After posing for a group photo with all the officers, Julian climbed into a fire truck and took a ride around Evanston, smiling all the way. “I feel that a lot of people respect me,†Julian said. “They’re trying to help me get through it.†The idea for the surprise came from two local officers, Joseph Panek and Sean O’Brien, who had read about Julian online and decided to reach out. After learning that Julian had found a match, they contacted their department to organize something special. They reached out to Captain/Paramedic Jeffrey Boetto of the Evanston Fire Department, who helped gather officers and five fire trucks for the motorcade. “It’s a way to give back to the community,†Boetto said. “We wanted to give him some inspiration.†Romy Sims, Julian’s mother, said her family has been incredibly lucky throughout the entire process. Through the Be the Match Foundation, they’ve raised over $6,000 and haven’t had to pay for the transplant at all. She also expressed how grateful she was for the support from the police and fire departments. “They didn’t have to do this — they wanted to,†she said. “It’s above and beyond their duty. It came from the heart. It’s totally uplifting.â€
