"Split" star James McAvoy has donated 50,000 euros for the treatment of a 16-year-old cancer patient.
Kelly Turner, who was given just two years to live in 2015, hopes to fly to America for pioneering surgery to reduce the size of the rare tumours, reported Femalefirst.
Her family are trying to raise one million euros needed for the immunisation to fly her to New York for immunotherapy treatment.
When the 37-year-old actor got to know about it, he visited the girl at the Royal Marsden Hospital in Kent, here.
He later donated the amount to the little lady's fundraising page at JustGiving.
"Great to meet you the other day Kelly. I hope this helps you achieve your goal sooner rather than later. Good luck love James," a message alongside the "Split" star's generous donation read.
