Battling leukemia for a second time, Tyler Seddon turned 7 on Thursday, and the firefighters and police officers he loves so much really came through for him.

Tyler’s birthday party began at the police station, where he wore his own uniform as he was sworn in as honorary police chief for a day. Tyler stopped at his school to see his friends before continuing to another celebration at Wrights Chicken Farm, in Burrillville.

Nicole Jacobs, NECN:

A little boy with leukemia, who has always been a big fan of police officers and firefighters, is getting a one-of-a-kind birthday treat. All Tyler Seddon wanted was cards from first responders for his seventh

birthday, but they are giving him a whole lot more than that.
