Lionel Messi has met brave cancer suffering patients in a bid to raise awareness for a brand new research centre.

The project, known as #paralosvalientes, is aiming to build a new centre 'treating and researching childhood cancer'. The centre is 'made by everyone and for everyone'.

It's a crowdfunding project with a target of €30,000,000. The project has so far raised €3,272,157.

The idea is that Messi is there to support the patients and that together they can help work towards something better.

At the end of the video, the 29-year-old is joined by all four patients as they pose for a photo.
