Douglas Santos steps up to be the Zenit mascot for chairty

The marauding Brazilian full back will be dressing up as the Zenit lion and heading to Nevsky Prospekt to raise money for sick children.
Douglas Santos is looking to raise money for brother and sister Matvey and Lisa Bagrov, who suffer from Epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a group of rare genetic conditions that result in easy blistering of the skin and mucous membranes. Kids who are affected by this illness are known as Butterfly children. These blisters can come from minor trauma or friction and are very painful with its severity ranging from mild to fatal. 

We're looking to raise a total of 1.33 million rubles or around 19,000 euros and you can donate whatever you can spare to the children at the below link.

Once we've raised the required amount, Douglas for head for a walk along Nevsky Prospect dressed up as the Zenit mascot and say hello to the fans!

Douglas Santos will be the 17th Zenit player to take part in our Davai Davai charity series. Hulk sang and danced on Nevsky Prospect, Danny gave fans a trim as a hairdresser, Yuri Lodygin conducted a tour of the Hermitage, Artem Dzyuba checked tickets as a bus conductor, Domenico Criscito was a circus performer, Mauricio worked as taxi driver, Alexander Kokorin sold donuts, Vladislav Radimov spent the day with the emergency services, Nicolas Lombaerts dressed as Peter the First, Alexander Kerzhakov was a street artist, Branislav Ivanovic delivered pizza, Andrei Lunev became a bus driver and Anton Zabolotny had a go as a teacher! All for charity!
