Every sister would have wished for a brother like Alejandra Forlan’s, who turned into a successful footballer for the sole reason to earn such a huge amount of money so that he can look after his paralyzed sister. Doesn’t sound quite oriental?
It is but so that when Alejandra Forlan paralyzed in a car accident that left her boyfriend dead and Alejandra Forlan paralyzed for rest of her life that her brother comes forward with such an aim that is hardly found in western societies. He rose with the aim of earning a lot of money so that he can take care of her sister.
Well, if you have witnessed that Uruguay-Ghana match during FIFA World Cup 2010, you would certainly have witnessed that spectacular free kick goal that helped Uruguay come back in the quarter final match against Ghana and ultimately beating Ghana on penalties.
Diego Forlan has displayed a wonderful career with top football clubs and has contributed a lot towards his national team. The man who chose football as a mean of earning money for a noble cause has earned not only money but a lot of fame and respect.
Diego Forlan’s sister Alejandra Forlan was just 12 year old when she met her fateful accident and now she can move only with the help of wheelchair, while Diego Forlan has become an ardent advocate against dangerous and fast driving, her sister Alejandra Forlan is head of the ‘Fundacion Alejandra Forlan’. All the family members including Diego Forlan support Alejandra Forlan to run her foundation in a best possible way. Diego Forlan has played five matches so far and he has scored three goals for his team. We hope the man with golden heart will score some more golden goals in the semis and if possible in finals.
Alejandra Forlan
Alejandra looks just like Forlan!
Diego definitely is the man with the Golden Heart. His unselfish personality both on and off the field is something not many players is seen to have. His never say die attitude and fight till the last moment is an inspiration. Now I am an Indian and I can only say that Indians here love him totally.Definitely his number of fans have quadrupled after the world cup. And all of us here pray for Diegoto to shine even more and also for Alejandra so that she may be able to walk again.
diego forlan has proved that he is a true human being………..the thing that he is doing for her sister’s sake is worth appreciatable..
