Edmonton’s friendly neighbourhood SpiderMable - also known as Mable Tooke - is looking to take her inspiring tale of fighting crime while fighting cancer to the silver screen.

The 7-year-old pint-sized web slinger’s Children’s Wish Foundation adventure captured the hearts of an entire city, along with millions of supporters who followed her story on social media last year.

The team of filmmakers that followed SpiderMable on her big day has started an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to turn her story into a documentary called SpiderMable The Film.

The project will feature behind-the-scenes footage of Tooke preparing for her big day of fighting crime, and document first-hand accounts of people who were inspired by her relentless spirit and imagination.

So far, the project has attracted just over $4,000 -- a far cry from the $200,000 the filmmakers say they need to finish the documentary.

“It was something that I had to do. It was another mission for myself,” said Tooke of the film. “I thought it was really awesome because they got to get my inner self, not just the outside of myself.”

The idea was inspired by 5-year-old cancer survivor Miles Scott, also known as “Batkid,” who gained international attention after thousands of volunteers helped transform San Francisco into Gotham City for a day in 2013. Scott’s story was the basis of the award-winning 2015 film Batkid Begins.

Sporting the iconic Spider Man look with blue and red streaks in her flaxen hair, she led an elaborate city-wide manhunt to rescue Oilers captain Andrew Ference from the evil Mysterio last fall.

The caper included a call-to-action broadcast on the local news, a meeting with the city’s mayor, as well as stops at some of Mable’s favourite places like the West Edmonton Mall Waterpark for superhero training, and the Edmonton Valley Zoo where Ference was being held captive.

“A lot of it was kind of a blur,” Tooke’s mother Lisa told CTV Edmonton. “It was very much a ‘Wow, look at her go kind of day.”

Like many superheroes, SpiderMable’s origin story is steeped in tragedy. Tooke has been fighting cancer since being diagnosed two-and-a-half years ago with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells.

Her father recalls the heartache of watching his daughter, sapped of energy, struggling to climb the stairs in their home. Her mother remembers when she lost the strength to walk to school.

“She started to find a short walk to school to be too much for her,” said Lisa last year. “She had a total lack of energy and didn’t want to do anything.”

Today, she’s a healthy third-grader whose weekends are booked solid with advocacy work ranging from Canadian Cancer Society events to Oilers games.

“We have check-ups every two months. Blood work once a month. But compared to what it used to be, this is so easy,” said Lisa.

Tooke says she wants to pursue a career in science, rhyming off principals she’s learned like viscosity and water tension. Her parents are glad she has no plans to hang up the mask.

“There is so much that she can teach everyone about (how) anyone can make a difference, and can go out and do something that no only helps, but makes you feel good,” said Lisa.
