A mild left hamstring strain will keep Dwyane Wade off the court for the first time since his return to the Miami Heat last month, but nothing is stopping him from continuing to show support for the students and families of Marjory Stoneman Douglas and the efforts being made nationwide to curb gun violence.
Over the weekend, Wade announced he and his wife, actress Gabrielle Union, were donating $200,000 to help pay for students from his hometown of Chicago to join the gun control rally led by Douglas students March 24 in the nation’s capitol.
Wade, who visited Douglas last week, said Monday he’s also decided to extend the “Parkland 17” art exhibit, which was on display inside a warehouse in Wynwood for 17 hours over the weekend, into this week so more people have the opportunity to pay homage to the victims and to reach out to state representatives in the fight for better gun control.
