Christiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro is one of the biggest footballers of all time but also one with the biggest heart. He helps building schools and regularly donates money to charities that take care of ill children but also to Red Cross and he doesn't have any tattoos so he can more often donate blood. He's an ambassador for three major charities, Save the Children, Unicef and World Vision.

Kristi Yamaguchi, an American ice-skater, is a founder of Always Dream Foundation. The foundation gives money to after school programmes that help children to improve their reading and literary skills.
