Most charitable athlete

According to DoSomething.org Cristiano The
Benevolent is the most charitable athlete in the
world, edging out wrestling star John Cena and
Serena Williams for the top spot. Other notable
inclusions on the "Athletes Gone Good" list are
Neymar and LeBron (fifth and sixth most
charitable, respectively), Richard Sherman
(10th), and Ronda Rousey (14th). But let's get
back to The Perfect Human. How did Ronaldo
win the award? It wasn't just for being
charitable to attractive women in Las Vegas.
THE PORTUGUESE SOCCER
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 CENTER IN
PORTUGAL THAT TREATED
HIS MOTHER. RONALDO HAS
ALSO USED HIS FAME AS A
GLOBAL SPOKESPERSON FOR
A VARIETY OF CAUSES
INCLUDING CHILDHOOD
HUNGER, OBESITY AND
BIODIVERSITY.


In addition to his biodiversity spokesmanship,
Ronaldo has pretended to be a street urchin so
he can play soccer with small children. And
defended a child from a rabid and mocking press
corps. He's also an outspoken champion of
Facial Fitness.
The rankings are determined using a "three-part
methodology" that includes public nominations
and voting, the athlete's "influence on social
media," and input from the Athletes Gone Good
Advisory Committee. So, it's all very official.
