By Tess Farrand, Associate Content Editor

WWE Superstar and actor John Cena visited a 7-year-old cancer patient named David Castle to usher in the patient’s birthday week.

According to WFLA, “Tammy Miller, Castle’s mom, said the superstar brought her 7-year-old lots of goodies including two WWE title belts, signed T-shirts, a signed program, signed bobblehead, hat and some of his armbands.”

We see you @JohnCena and thank you for your kind soul! Thank you for taking time out of your weekend to make David’s birthday week start out amazing! If you would like to donate, you can here. https://t.co/JU5UYrKzRN pic.twitter.com/JPqSBOOrAU

Pasco County, Florida, Fire Rescue put together the birthday surprise for Castle, who turned 8 on May 10, 2020.

Castle was diagnosed in October 2019 with a Wilms tumor and still has at least a month left of chemotherapy.

Cena’s efforts of goodwill aren’t out of character, though.

Cena has granted over 650 wishes from the Make a Wish organization. The DOLITTLE voice actor has also highlighted his deep appreciation for health care workers during this pandemic.

The actor and wrestler also appears in multiple family-friendly movies.

On the red carpet for FERDINAND, Cena compared himself to the main character, “[FERDINAND] liked to use his strength to help people and I can relate to that.”
