REAL MADRID star Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the world’s most charitable sports star after donating millions of pounds to causes across the globe. Ronaldo topped DoSomething.org’s Athletes Gone Good 2015 list and beat the likes of John Cena, Serena Williams and Barcelona star Neymar. The former Manchester United winger has been recognised for his generosity — where he has raised money for various causes and used his global status as a spokesperson for charities.
Ronaldo is first having supported Aid Still Required, Cahonas Scotland, Save the Children, UNICEF and World Vision.
‘Cristiano Ronaldo topped the list for going above and beyond on the field and in his charity work. The football star raised money for various causes including donating more than $83,000 to a 10-year-old fan in need of brain surgery and giving more than $165,000 to fund a cancer centre in Portugal that treated his mother,’ Dosomething.org said.
