On Thursday, the ex-NRL player visited the Sydney Children’s Hospital to help spread some Christmas cheer to those in need.

Donning a Santa hat, the 31-year-old, snapped a picture of himself with a sweet little girl.

Beau was accompanied by 21-year-old, rugby league player, Jack Bird.

The Footy Show host added a caption to the precious photo explaining that it was his mentor Brad Fittler that taught him the art of giving back.

He wrote, “5 years ago @bradfittler took me along with him to give gifts out to some precious kids at Randwick Children’s Hospital. I look up to him.”

Following in Brad’s footsteps, Beau added, “Now each year I try and take someone new with me to share my experience. Just like Brad did with me. This year I took @jackbird_ The kids (and mums) really loved him.”

Topping off the touching gesture, the father-of-one finished the Instagram post by writing, “There is no better gift than the gift of giving.”

We couldn’t agree more!

The NRL legend is no stranger to charitable act. On December 7, Beau drove two hours to be by Kia Lettice’s side in her final hours.

Beau’s beautiful act of goodwill comes just days after the NRL legend drove two hours to be by the side of cancer victim, Kia Lettice, during the fight of her life.

It was Kia’s dying wish to meet Beau Ryan and it took less than an hour for the former Cronulla Sharks star to respond to her plea.

Beau is pictured here with cancer victim Kia and her friend Mahalia Murphy, also a rugby player.

Fans were touched by Beau’s actions, with one penning, “Congratulations Beau Ryan for giving this brave girl her dying wish, it’s so easy to take life for granted, nothing is promised. When the time comes. Rest In Peace.”

Tragically, Kia has since passed away.
