London, June 4: David Hasselhoff is trying his hand at philanthropy, as he has made a massive donation to a children''s hospice service.

The former `Baywatch star', who is now a judge on `Britain''s Got Talent', helped the cause, prompted by the TV show''s warm-up comedian, who in fact has been planning a charity bike ride.

Funnyman Ian Royce''s dedication to raising cash for `Shooting Star Chase', which supports the families of seriously ill children, impressed Hasselhoff so much that he made a sizeable donation.

"David Hasselhoff has made a huge donation to my kids hospice and my bike ride for it! Go have a look and make a donation why your (sic) at it!!!... thank you David Hasselhoff for your amazing donation" Royce tweeted.

He also agreed to sponsor Royce''s 55-mile fundraising race from London to Brighton later this month, reports the Daily Express. (ANI)
