Samuel, who co-found Love Your Sister with his sibling Connie battling cancer, continued writing on the charity's Facebook page, explaining Kate has now reached out with a generous donation to go towards further research.

"Many years later I hid from her when we were shooting Underbelly II, because I was still so embarrassed. And now, without me having any clue, she's gone and put her heart print in with Connie's and mine, in support of 'A Heart as Big as Yours' - villager Maria Ramos's $100,000 art fundraising project," the actor wrote.

She's the mother of two boys, and has fought cancer three times- the first time, at age 11, Connie was diagnosed with a bone tumour in her leg, and at 22 had a tumour in her womb.

Actor Samuel has in the past raised money and awareness for Connie by riding a unicycle.
