The same night, he donated £770 to a school shooting survivor, and £2,223 to a four-year old stroke survivor named Kailyn.He also gave £3,833 to four-year-old Macy Shepard, who was diagnosed with a stage 2 Wilms tumour on her kidney.Payne had spoken about his charitable acts in a series of Snapchat videos. “I’ve always felt really lucky to be in the position that I’m in and my life aspiration has been to be a superhero… but I can’t fly, I’m not a great mechanic, I wasn’t affected by radiation, and I’m not incredibly strong,” he said.“All I know is there are websites out there for you to be able to donate to sick children that need your help.“It doesn’t matter how small the donation is, or how big the donation is.

All that matters is you look into that child’s eyes and you realise… as a father, it hits me slightly differently because I look at them and if that was my child, I would want everyone in the world to just look at me.
