Conor McGregor Donates $1.4 Million To Front Line Healthcare Workers
MMA Weekly reports that Conor McGregor has allegedly donated 1.3 million euros ($1.4 million US dollars) to healthcare workers on the front line during the COVID-19 pandemic. The money was used to provide protective equipment to doctors and nurses in Ireland.
One of the people he helped, Doug Leddin, wrote: “What this lad @TheNotoriousMMA is doing over the next couple of days should be admired. Promise you this lad is providing some amount of support to our Frontline heroes. With the help of @GalwayLeahy and so many other moving parts. People putting money up and helping. To be able to deliver protective masks this morning where my aunt works & so many loved ones have attended was an incredible feeling. Thanks to @TheNotoriousMMA for donating & @Heroes_Aid for aiding me and helping source. @GalwayLeahy your a hero 🇮🇪. @friendsofstluke #StayAtHome”

We all got a great boost Conor but nothing beats the gratitude & appreciation of Nurses & Docs who took receipt of the PPE. This enables them to give the excellent care that 🇮🇪 HCP's pride themselves on….whilst also remaining safe. Gratitude to our army for excellent assistance
