A former New England Patriots legend is helping out in a time of need. Former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski and girlfriend Camille Kostek donated 10,000 medical-grade KN95 masks earlier this week.
In total, the couple has donated more than 20,000 masks. The masks are going to Boston Medical Center and St. Joseph’s University Medical Center in New Jersey. They have donated the masks directly to the recipients. Each set of masks contains a note from Rob and Camille.
“May these bless you and protect you while you do what you do best,” Gronkowski and Kostek wrote in a note accompanying each set of masks. “Thank you for being the heroes we need at such a critical time. We love you!”
The couple has been doing whatever they can to heighten awareness about coronavirus. They have used social media and their influence to deliver the messages during this time.
As this pandemic moves forward, it will be fascinating to see which other athletes and celebrities step up and help out. It is certainly nice to see those two and others helping out during a time when help is needed the most.
