C.Ronaldo's Generous Gesture for Sick Baby

I am The Citizens fan, but I hold great respect for C. Ronaldo. I know he has worked so hard to be where he is today. What he did for that child just shows that he still have both his legs on the ground. He might seem arrogant, but he is just so concentrated on always doing his best. He deserves respect both as a footballer and as a person.

His latest act of generosity, however, is probably the most touching and inspiring story we've yet to hear.
The Real Madrid star was asked to donate a pair of old boots and a used shirt for 10-month-old Erik Ortiz Cruz, who suffers from a terrible brain disorder called cortical dysplasia.

Little Erik suffers seizures up to 30 times a day due to the illness, and is in desperate need of an operation costing £50,000. His entire village of Villaluenga de la Sagra has been saving and raising money for months to try and cover the costs.

On hearing of little Erik's plight, Ronaldo immediately agreed to help - but rather than just donate his boots and shirt, he paid the entire cost of the operation in full.

Spanish newspaper AS reports the heartwarming tale. It might just be a couple of days wages for the superstar, but how often have you heard of a celebrity helping raise money for charity and wondered why they don't just put their hands directly in their own pockets?

With all the goals and fame in football, he is still a generous person.
