"# Masks for medical staff" Soccer Nagatomo and others auction April 18, 10:00
As the shortage of masks at medical institutions became more serious, an international medical volunteer group decided to use a charity auction for athletes to purchase masks.
Amid the shortage of masks and protective clothing at medical institutions, Japan Heart, an international medical volunteer group based in Japan, clouded the purchase cost with "# Masks for medical workers" on 15th this month When we recruited for funding, we donated 153 million yen in just over a day.
To raise more costs, the group decided to hold a charity auction with 16 people including athletes.
At the auction that started on the 17th, soccer uniform Yuto Nagatomo's representative from Japan and swords used by fencing Yuki Ota in the Rio Olympics are on display.
Nagatomo said at an online interview, “In Japan, I was able to change the support of many people into power and energy, and work hard. I would like to express my gratitude. "
"I would like to ask for your help so that medical personnel can protect you from viruses until the end," said Hideto Yoshioka, a doctor and "Japan Heart."
The auction is open until 7:00 pm on the 19th.
