Mesut Ozil celebrates marriage by paying for surgeries of 1,000 kids

Mesut Ozil has showed his charitable side this week after making an incredible pledge to help out , all as part of his wedding celebrations.

The  playmaker is set to marry his fiancée Amine Gulse, and issued a statement regarding what guests could expect to bring to his wedding as a gift.

As is common practice wedding goers would bring something nice for the bride and groom, but Ozil has chosen to use his privileged position for the greater good.

Taking to social media, Ozil issued a statement in which he called for guests to join him and Gulse in donating money for those in need.

'As a professional footballer I am in a fortunate and privileged position. However I invite everyone who is willing and able to help to support a very special project close to both of our hearts that we will undertake with BigShoe,' wrote Ozil.

'Amine and I will bear the expenses for surgeries of 1000 children in need. I'd be happy if in addition, many more treatments all over the world can be fulfilled,' he added.
