MILWAUKEE -- An 8-year-old boy battling cancer got a special ride home from his dream concert.
Milwaukee Police saw Miles and his family stuck in the rain after country singer Morgan Wallen's concert.
Officers saved the day for this family visiting from Marinette, and made the night even more memorable.
Miles Sorensen is a tough 8-year-old. He has been battling cancer since he was six.
His mother Lindsey says Miles has "Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia," adding, "We kinda knew something was off, he actually had a hard time starting off walking."
Still going through chemo and unable to fully celebrate a memorable birthday, his mom Lindsay surprised Miles with a trip to his dream concert: Tickets to Morgan Wallen's show at American Family Field.
"Country singer. He's my favorite singer," said Miles.
They drove down from the Upper Peninsula Saturday. Lindsey said the concert, "Was amazing. It was completely packed, it was so much fun."
Miles says things took a turn after the concert ended, "I felt like sick, like vomity."
Lindsey says they tried to get a ride on Uber and Lyft, but those apps were all down. Everyone else was having the same issue. Then, three officers took notice, "They were all so amazing they were offering water. One of the officers came and gave miles a stuffed animal of the K9 bomb dog "Gilly" and gave him a little challenge coin."
Miles said, "It meant so much."
Then it began to rain.
"It was so chaotic everybody was trying to find rides," said Lindsey, "Our hotel was like 15 minutes away and were from 3 hours away and there was no way we'd be able to find the hotel otherwise."
That's when one of the officers pulled up to Miles and his mom and told them to hop in, "He was just the sweetest biggest hearted guy ever. That was the most beautiful ending to the most beautiful day we couldn't say thank you enough to all the officers who helped us."
We tried to reach out to the officer who helped drive Miles back to his hotel. He said he did not want any attention for doing something out of the kindness of his own heart, as many officers do every day.
