Get the tissues ready! This is so heartwarming but tremendously sad.

Daniel Downing, a 5-year-old British boy has been diagnosed with a rare terminal form of cancer called Pontine Glioma. It turns out the brain tumor is inoperable.

Daniel is a HUGE fan of Marvel, Deadpool and Ryan Reynolds. So, he put his wish of getting a phone call from Ryan Reynolds into the universe!

Real life superhero Ryan saw this and reached out to Daniel earlier this week.

Here’s how the heartwarming interaction went:

*Cue the tears*

Awww, Ryan is such a great guy and this just makes us love him even more!

A crowdfunding page has been set up to help the family out at this time. Daniel’s family is keeping spirits up, “Daniel is the most amazing 5 year old ‘young man’ you could ever wish to meet. Full of life, mischievous, polite, intelligent, innocent, and above all, loving. Once met, never forgotten.”

 

We are sending all of our thoughts and love to sweetheart Daniel and the Downing family.
