Ronaldo donates £5 million to help in Nepal after earthquake

 Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo has donated 7 million euros (£5m) to help the aid effort in Nepal, according to reports in France. The 30-year-old forward handed the sum of money to the charitable organisation Save the Children, which is helping survivors of the earthquake that struck the Asian country last month.

Last month Ronaldo also called upon his vast Facebook following of over 100 million people to donate to the children's charity.

The Portuguese star has a history of being charitable. Last year he reportedly stumped up €60,000 to pay for a 10-month-old boy's brain surgery. And in 2004 he flew to the aid of Indonesian tsunami victims after he saw footage of a young man wearing a Portugal shirt with his name on the back.
