Seriously though, it's really cool of Chris to do this for Kenny and raise awareness too.

I really pray he comes out of this cancer free, and with an awesome life ahead for his troubles.

I was thinking the same thing man. lol But congrats to Evans! You'd be suprised how much it would mean the world to kids to see their favorite heroes right on their door step. I would've gone nuts seeing Tobey, Hugh or Eric Bana back when I was that age.

Excuse me?

@davearikhanlark

too many grammatical errors for a two paragraph article.
for example...

"awarded Kenny some gifts"

How is someone awarded something by getting a brain tumor?

proofread next time bud

@ahhmynuts
When I broke my leg, my parents awarded me Spider-Man 2 on DVD. They didn't give it to me because I broke my leg, they gave it to me because I was "strong" and "brave."

Get a better argument next time, bud.

My name is Martha Smith. I'm saying this on behalf of my beautiful and warm daughter, Louise Smith -- WHAT A DARLING SUPERHERO! Chris Evans is THE most selfless and thoughtful man in the world. Chris Evans has EVERYTHING in common with my 41-year-old gorgeous daughter, Louise Smith; they are both beautiful, intelligent, sweet, thoughtful, selfless, warm, loving, talented, and caring people; inside and outside. I want Chris Evans to be with my beautiful and warm daughter, Louise Smith, because he is a very sweet and wonderful man, and I want the very best for my beautiful and warm daughter, Louise Smith.
