Hayley Wickenheiser is on a mission. The four-time Canadian Olympic gold medalist in women’s hockey is doing her part for Coronavirus and it is at the moment extraordinary. In two separate tweets on Sunday, Wickenheiser stated the following:
1/2 After desperate pleas from my front line friends in Toronto, I have decided to put an ask out. These items are not for my use at all. I’m not seeking cash, rather these items: 1350 N95 (68 boxes) 13,500 surgical masks (135 boxes) 13,500 gloves (135 boxes) 1,350 chemo gowns
2/2 if you are a business or person in Toronto and you can help, I will personally pick up these items myself w/ proper distancing and PPE. I don’t have much to offer in return, maybe a signed jersey, a smile and guaranteed good Karma. If you can help email: robb@wickhockey.com.
Wickenheiser is quite simply an extraordinary human being. After a remarkable high performance hockey career, she is in her final year of medical school at the University of Calgary in her quest of being a doctor. Every single time I have requested an interview from Hayley, she has been there for me. Now it is time for me to be there for her. If you are able to help Hayley, please respond to the email above. If you know someone who might help Hayley, please forward the link of this piece on to the appropriate person. We are all in this fight together to stop Coronavirus. It is that simple.
