BERGENFIELD, N.J. — A New Jersey boy recently got an awesome wakeup call.

R.J. Sy, who is home in hospice care, woke up to see a parade of police cars from 12 different precincts and the Bergenfield Fire Department outside his house on Thursday.

R.J., who is just five years old, was diagnosed with Stage 4 High Risk Neuroblastoma in 2014. Recently, the cancer spread throughout his entire body, according to his YouCaring page.

R.J. loves law enforcement and had a wish: police officers come by his house with their patrol cars.

"We heard R.J.'s story and not one of us didn't feel the effect of it," Cresskill Detective Jason Lanzilotti told the Daily Voice. "So we came together and delivered a simple message, 'We are here to show you, the family, the support of our family, an entire community of law enforcement.'”

Watching the officers’ arrival from the sidewalk, R.J. was smiling until he became so overwhelmed that he started to cry, Lanzilotti told the publication.

According to the Daily Voice, Bergenfield and Cresskill police coordinated the visit. Along for the ride were colleagues from Alpine, Closter, Dumont, Demarest, Englewood Cliffs, Harrington Park, Norwood, Northvale, Tenafly, Teaneck, the Bergen County Sheriff's Office and Palisades Interstate Parkway Police.

"If only love can cure cancer, he would have been in remission," Cheely Ann Sy, R.J.’s mother, told the publication.
