German
football
players
Leon Goretzka
and
Joshua Kimmich have donated 1 million euros ($1.1 million) to start a campaign called "We kick Corona" to help social workers and health services cope with the new virus.
In a Twitter post, Goretzka thanks health professionals, doctors and social workers for "giving their all to master the situation" and says he hopes fans will follow his and his
Bayern Munich
teammate's example.
"On the pitch we can beat anyone. But we can only beat corona together," the 25-year-old Goretzka writes.
The money raised is to be used to help those affected by the virus and hospital equipment.
"As professional
soccer
players we have been leading healthy and professional lives," Goretzka says. "So we see an obligation to accept responsibility in these difficult times. Giving and helping each other is the order of the day at this time."
People can donate at the www.wekickcorona.com website, where others who need support can also ask for help.
