The coronavirus pandemic has swept the world with unprecedented ferocity, shutting down golf and life as we know it abruptly and causing widespread sickness, death and overall hardship.  I have no doubt that many of you have experienced firsthand suffering to your friends, families and colleagues.  The United States has been especially hard hit, which concerns me greatly.  My thoughts are especially with the first responders of medical services like doctors, nurses and others who are risking their health everyday to treat the sickest people. 

As you know there are severe shortages of essential equipment in hospitals and supplies of surgical masks, gloves, and other personal protective equipment (PPE) are depleting fast. Thus I are partnering with the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) and Direct Relief to raise money to help Direct Relief -- COVID-19 Relief provide PPE such as surgical and N95 respirator masks, exam gloves and isolation gowns to health workers responding to coronavirus (COVID-19).  Not only are these items life-saving, but they also hinder the spread of the virus. Together we can do our part to protect humanity.

I want to help those on the front lines of this Covid-19 pandemic, I want to help them get  n-95 masks, ventilators, gloves, surgical masks and many more that hospitals and nurses need more supply of during this pandemic. Our province, Ontario,  has been in lock down for a month. I haven’t been playing golf during this time. I want things to get back to normal. So I can play golf and see my coach and friends again.  I also want to  help those junior golfers who lack financial resources and want to progress more in this game, I want to help them out so they can reach their full potential. I am blessed to have family’s support that I could start playing golf at 6 years old and now I can play this game at a high level. 

Your contribution will not only support this crisis response but will also impact some of my fellow junior golfers through the AJGA's ACE Grant program. Your contributions will help talented junior golfers with a desire to better their life by playing junior golf and earning a college golf scholarship. These juniors lack the financial resources to compete at the national level to gain exposure to these scholarship opportunities. They need our help as well. College golf scholarships are simply life-changing.

Our goal is to raise $1,000. Would you consider making a donation and making a difference?
