An aspiring superhero who is fighting cancer is “over the moon” after receiving presents and money from complete strangers.

Frankie Clements, of Corfield Close, Brunswick Park, is having treatment to shrink two tumours growing in his stomach before they can be operated on later this year.

The five-year-old’s mother, Caroline Kelly, began documenting her son’s progress on social networking site Facebook as a way of coping – but did not expect such an overwhelming response.

During a trip to Asda supermarket, in Southgate, last week, a couple who recognised Frankie gave them £30 – £20 to buy a toy for Frankie and £10 for his brother, Jack.

Frankie spent his £20 on an Incredible Hulk toy while Jack chose not to spend the money on himself – instead choosing to buy his brother a remote control truck.

And a woman who saw Ms Kelly’s regular updates on Facebook group I Am a London Borough of Barnet Bod handed over the latest PlayStation console – a PS4.

That same day, a man bought him a Little Big Planet game to use in the machine, while another member of the group sent him a Superhero canvas.

A woman – who has never met Frankie – has now set up a Go Fund Me page to raise money to help support Frankie during his treatment, which has raised £90.

Ms Kelly, who lives with Frankie’s father, her partner, Christopher Clements, said: “I am just amazed by the generosity of these people.

“It’s lovely, and overwhelming to know there are still kind-hearted people out there who do care.

“He keeps saying to me – I like these things mummy, but why do people keep giving them to me? He was so eager to play on his new console last week that he fell over running up the stairs.

“But it’s nice to see him over the moon and excited again.”

In his home, the C word is banned and is instead referred to as ‘caterpillars’ or ‘wiggly wiggly worms’.

Frankie has undergone “brutal” rounds of chemotherapy in an attempt to destroy the masses, known as neuroblastoma, which have left him too exhausted and unwell to go to Garfield School, in Springfield Road, Enfield, where he was a pupil.

But Frankie, who loves Spiderman and dreams of growing up to be a Superhero, has taken it all in his stride and has vowed to “flush the disease down the toilet”.

Ms Kelly added: “Since the chemotherapy he’s been more like his old self – running his bike and going to the shops, which is amazing to see.

“He had a stem cell transplant and doctors expected him to be in bed, throwing up, on morphine and to develop ulcers but he was running around the wards like a lunatic. It’s incredible really.

“He’s been so good about everything though, he really is a little superhero.”
