Young boy awaiting heart surgery serves as Atwater's 'Mayor for the Day'

ATWATER, Calif. (KFSN) -- A young boy in the North Valley had a special day on Wednesday as "Mayor of the Day" in Atwater.

Leo Rivero-Cameron has a life-threatening condition called Neonatal Marfan Syndrome.

His trip to Walt Disney World through the Make-A-Wish Foundation has been postponed following urgent heart surgery.

While Leo waits to be medically cleared for traveling, the Mayor of Atwater presented him with the honor of being Mayor for the Day.

Leo toured city departments and took part in a ribbon-cutting ceremony at a new Planet Fitness.

He has also established his own nonprofit, which you can learn more about at LeosLegacyFoundation.org.
