Danny had been fighting pineoblastoma since 2017, and first met Momoa over FaceTime last year. Momoa saw a video showing Danny opening an Aquaman action figure that went viral. He was so touched by Danny’s and his love for DC comic character that he shared the family’s GoFundMe page on his Instagram stories and sent him a life-sized trident.
