Actor Stephen Amell has once again proven himself to be a real life hero, this after a question and answer season at this past weekends San Diego Comic-Con.
A young fan who identified herself as Sarah asked if the CW star would once again be promoting his F-Cancer shirts, as she herself was currently battling the disease. Amell responded to the question then invited the young lady to the stage where he presented her with a custom made Arrow necklace from around his neck - explaining that she could return it to him at next years show.
Amell has been a strong advocate for cancer research, having told The Hollywood Reporter in 2014:
"My mom was going through chemotherapy in April of 2012 and she and I just took a photo outside of a bar in Toronto when I was visiting. I was just giving the middle finger to the camera - representing F--- Cancer. At the time I didn't know there was a charity called F---Cancer. They got in touch via Twitter and we've been working together ever since."
A hero is defined as:
"a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities"
In my opinion this genuine gesture has once again proven Amells nobility, and has solidified his standing as a real life superhero!
Well done Sir!
