“This [was] a very special night for Rowan and his family as the city once again is showing him he’s not alone in his battle with cancer. I’m very proud of Warwick’s finest, “said Warwick Mayor Frank Picozzi.

The "Fight for Rowan" Facebook page posted a video of the parade -- and Rowan's reaction. 

"Yes, daddy counted. There were 131 cars and a helicopter!!!! Just for me? First responders from all over our state and all the way up to and including Boston showed up to tell me goodnight. We don’t even have words that can express how amazing this was. Truly a memory to last a lifetime and then some. I can’t wait until I’m grown and get to look back on the community that helped me get through this. I feel like a true superstar. Thank you all so much and a special thanks to Sgt. Higgins at Warwick Police Department for making it happen."

A GoFundMe for Rowan has currently raised over $18,000 toward the family's $50,000 goal.
