Simpsonville 6-year-old with cancer set for movie debut

"Lawman of Simpsonville," a movie starring Simpsonville Police Department honorary officer Peyton Gesing, 6, will premiere at noon Friday at Regal Cinemas in Simpsonville.

Gesing is battling stage 4 neuroblastoma cancer. He had his dream of becoming a police officer come true this summer when he was sworn in at the Police Department. "Lawman of Simpsonville" chronicles his adventures from his training to be an officer to his promotion to "investigator."

Gesing will be given a police escort from the Simpsonville Police Department to Regal Cinemas at 11:30 a.m. Friday. At the theater, the movie premiere will kick off with a red carpet event to celebrate Gesing. Movie tickets are $10.00, with all proceeds going to the family to help with medical expenses.

After the movie, there will be the reveal of a surprise for Gesing in the front lobby of Regal Cinemas.

DVD copies of the movie will be available at the Police Department for a $10 donation.
