Cristiano Ronaldo pays for baby's operation

Cristiano Ronaldo went the extra mile with a wonderful gesture, paying for an operation for a young child with a neurological disorder.

The Portuguese footballer was asked to auction a pair of boots or similar in order to help meet the cost of surgery and care for Erik Ortiz Cruz, which was expected to run to around £55,000.

Instead of doing the auction, Ronaldo simply paid the bill.

"Erik Ortiz Cruz suffers up to 30 epileptic fits a day and surgery is the only solution to his condition. The boy's family have been unable to meet massive hospital bills with each test carried out costing around £5,020 (6,000 euros) and surgery likely to run to £50,240 (60,000 euros)."

The Real Madrid forward has been linked with several acts of kindness in recent times, so this is not a one-off.

After winning the Ballon d'Or earlier in the year, the same report mentions that he honoured a promise to celebrate with 12 young children suffering with leukaemia.

This season, Ronaldo also took time out to plead for a pitch invader in America to be spared a jail term.

The charges against the young fan were dropped.

Have you ever noticed that Ronaldo has given more money and actions for charity than Messi?

Expert, its hard to say. Some people donate without making it public to the rest of the world. Messi does help out since he has ties with UNICEF as an ambassador. Ronaldo well, he loves the spot light, and there isn't anything wrong if its helping others.

It would be simpler to pass a law that required pro players who earn more than 100k weekly to donate to any charity of case on a regular basis.

@Expert

Don't worry, Messi has his own charity foundation too. It's called the "Lionel Messi Foundation", and he donates money regularly to them and to UNICEF.

So both him and Ronaldo go out of their way to help those in need. :)
