A group of Pasco County, Fla., deputies went above and beyond the call of duty, battling zombies and giving a little boy with a terminal illness a day he'll never forget.
Spencer Holt, 7, has spent far too many days in hospital rooms, battling a form of Mitochondrial disease and seizures.
"There's no cure for it, no timeline for how long of what his future holds," his mother Cher told Fox News 13 . "We just live day by day."
