Recently, Pat Cummins donated 50,000 USD to the PM Cares Fund. Now Brett Lee, a former Australian pacer has come forward and donated 1 bitcoin (worth roughly 41 lakh). He donated it to Crypto Relief which will help in purchasing oxygen supplies for hospitals across India.
India has always been like a second home for me. The love and affection that I have got from the people of this country both during my professional career. Even after my retirement holds a special place in my heart. It saddens me deeply to see people suffering due to the ongoing pandemic,” Brett Lee wrote in a tweet.
“I feel privileged to be in a position of making a difference and with that in mind, I’d like to donate 1 BTC (Bitcoin) to Crypto Relief to help with the purchase of oxygen supplies for the hospitals across India,” he added.
When the international player Cummins donated, he urged others to come forward and support India in these tough times. Lee also sent a similar message to his fans where he said that everyone must follow the preventive measures to help prevent the spread of virus. He urged people to wear masks, wash hands and stay inside and only leave, if necessary.
The cases and death toll are increasing at an alarming rate. Total cases have reached 1.73 crore and the death toll stands at over 1.95 lakh.
