Jackie's a Hit with Kids at Cancer Centre

Jackie Chan was the consummate professional at the new Viva-University Cancer Centre of the National University Hospital (NUH) recently. Just like his on-screen characters, he was a picture of fun and smiles, when he met young cancer patients as part of his role as the Ambassador of Goodwill for the hospital's Viva Foundation for Children with Cancer.

Of his ambassador role, Jackie said: 'I see young children suffering, with their hair falling out because of chemotherapy. It breaks my heart, and it does remind me of my father. So naturally, I have to help them.' At the hospital, the children enthusiastically exhibited their martial arts skills to the action star, proudly showing off their high kicks and punches.
