Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and his baby mama Georgina Rodriguez have contributed towards the cancer treatment of a seven-year-old boy.

The Portuguese youngster named Tomas has been battling neuroblastoma since September 2019 but he was said to have encountered a relapse last October.

After his medical setback, his parent solicited funds from the public to help raise funds for an important operation.

Ivana, Georgina's sister was said to have posted the information on Instagram and that was said to have confirmed their involvement in the cause according to Sport Bible.

Meanwhile, Tomas' parent sent an incredible thank you message to the five-time Ballon d'Or winner and his partner, saying:

"Thank you Georgina and Cristiano for your help, solidarity and great heart. Infinite thanks for helping us so that Tomas can access treatment."

The publication further revealed that the young boy is undergoing a series of tests at the D'Hebron Hospital in Barcelona.

Meanwhile, this is not the first time the 36-year-old has donated to a noble cause in his professional career.

Last year, he and agent Jorge Mendes bought medical supplies to help combat the coronavirus pandemic in Portugal.

Briefly.co.za earlier reported that Cristiano Ronaldo is edging closer to winning another title in 2021. Five Time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo fired Juventus to a 2-1 victory over Inter Milan in the first leg of their Coppa Italia clash.

The superstar who clocked 36 recently grabbed his first from the spot in the 26th minute while his second came as a gift after a communication breakdown between Samir Handanovic and one of his defenders.

This however puts the Old Lady at an advantage to progress to the next round as they hold a two away goals lead ahead of the second leg scheduled for Tuesday, February 9.

Ronaldo has now scored 22 times and assisted three other goals in 23 appearances across all competitions this campaign. Stats also show that he has scored eight braces this term.
