Chris Pratt Helps Little Girl in Hospital Celebrate Important Victory
Actor Chris Pratt posted a photo on his Facebook page Thursday congratulating a little girl named Emma for beating her leukemia. The sweet post read:
After a long battle with childhood leukemia, Emma is going home cancer free!!! Atta girl! You kicked cancer’s butt!!! Thank you to Children’s Hospital Orange County for setting up an amazing visit and to Emma for my wonderful painting.
Pratt, famous for his role in movie “Guardians of the Galaxy,” went to the hospital in Orange, California, on behalf of the Ryan Seacrest Foundation, Hollywood Life reported. Little Emma knew Pratt would be coming, so she presented him with a painting she’d made. Pratt holds it up in the photo below.
Congratulations, Emma!
