Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade, who has thrown his financial and emotional support behind the efforts of students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School to curb gun violence nationwide in the aftermath of last month’s school shooting that killed 17 and injured 15 others, was happy to see the movement continue with Wednesday’s student walkouts in high schools across the country.
“It’s great to see our youth take a stand and do the things they feel is necessary,” Wade said after the Heat finished its morning shootaround. “It’s great for all the kids to rally around what happened but understanding that it’s in support of all the kids nationwide.
