Anderlecht shows great gesture towards Cercle player Miguel van Damme

Last October the shirts of Anderlecht from the match against Club Brugge went under the hammer. The total amount of money raised was more than 7.000 euros! As always the funds went to a charity, but what makes this auction especially heartwarming is the chosen charity by Anderlecht. They decided to pass all the funds towards the 'Me To You' foundation, showing great solidarity with Cercle goalkeeper Miguel van Damme.

Miguel van Damme is a goalkeeper who played over 30 matches for Cercle Brugge. But instead of battling at the pitch, he now is battling his own war against the terrible disease leukemia. To show their support towards their goalkeeper, Cercle organised a special family day for Miguel and the Me To You foundation last February.

On the initiative of their own players, Anderlecht decided to offer a little extra help to their so called competitor. Besides raising money for the Me To You foundation, all players played with the name 'Miguel' on their back. By doing so, they really showed the true meaning of brotherhood!
