Home and Away hunk Dan Ewing proved that he has a heart to match those muscles of his when he visited Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital Crumlin yesterday.

The actor and his wife Marni took a trip to the hospital to show their support for Heaven Cent, the joint fundraising campaign run by the hospital and Temple Street Children’s Hospital.

Dan, who plays Heath Braxton in the popular soap, also posed for a number of photographs with patients and their families.

Speaking about the visit Sara Benson, Communications Manager for the Children’s Medical & Research Foundation, said: “There was great excitement in the hospital when Dan arrived.

"He brought huge joy to the families and patients some of whom spend days, weeks and even years in the hospital. Dan was a welcome break from hospital life and really brightened up their day.”

Together the two hospitals are hoping to raise €2 million and you still have time to help make that happen.
