A few weeks ago, Enner Valencia was the main character in one of the most embarrassing scenes seen in a football pitch recently. The player allegedly faked a heart attack and tried to flee the stadium before the game ended, in order to avoid being arrested by the police for not paying child support to his wife. Today, Everton's wingman had a nice gesture, as he provided support to cancer patients while making a promise to his own child.
The player dressed up as Superman and visited SOLCA Hospital, which specializes in treating kids fighting cancer. He shared a few laugs and handed out a signed jersey to one of the patients.

But perhaps the most touching moment of his visit came when his daughter Beria joined him at the hospital. The player dedicate a heartfelt message to his kid via Twitter, leaving proof that his problems with the law (and child support payments) have been taken care of.
