Stephen Amell is the star of “Arrow” but he’s more than just an actor. Amell is also a philanthropist, and he’s put together several charity campaigns in order to raise money for various different causes. One of Stephen Amell’s most popular campaigns is the “F*ck Cancer” campaign, and he was asked about it at San Diego International Comic Con this year.

A young fan named Sara asked Amell if the campaign will be returning this year, and she explained to him that she’s a cancer fighter. Stephen told her that it will be returning, and then he had a conversation with the young girl as he asked her about her life. She told Amell that this is her third Comic Con in a row, and he asked her if she’ll be returning next year.
The girl responded by saying, “I think so,” and then Amell presented her with a gift. He told Sara that he was going to give her something, and he removed an arrow necklace from his neck. He explained that the necklace was made for him by a friend, and he told her she can keep the necklace for a year, and she can give it back to him at Comic Con in 2018.
Stephen then hopped off the stage and gave the girl the necklace and a hug in what was a truly heartwarming moment. You can check out the clip below, and it’s sure to make even the coldest of hearts melt.
“Arrow” will return on Thursday, October 12.
After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. He returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs done by his family and fighting injustice.
As the Green Arrow, he protects his city with the help of former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), his vigilante-trained sister Thea Queen (Willa Holland), Deputy Mayor Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne), brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum), and his new recruits, street-savvy Rene Ramirez (Rick Gonzalez) and meta-human Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy).
Oliver has finally solidified and strengthened his crime-fighting team only to have it threatened when unexpected enemies from his past return to Star City, forcing Oliver to rethink his relationship with each member of his “family”.
