In October 2019, our friend Hiroki Wakabayashi was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer, Multiple Myeloma. His treatment plan will begin at the beginning of November, 2019.  Hiroki has a very challenging road to recovery ahead of him over the next several months and he needs our help! 

発起人 John Kosobud より:
2019年10月、私たちの友達、若林弘紀は難治性の血液癌である多発性骨髄腫と診断されました。彼の治療は2019年11月に開始されます。弘紀には今後数か月以上、回復への辛い道のりが待っています。だから彼には助けが必要なんです!
For those that know Hiroki, he is an extremely hard working professional goalie coach that has traveled around the world helping hockey goalies of all ages from youth to pro reach their potential. Continuously researching and pursuing new and innovative ways to improve goalie performance is his passion. Without being able to work on the ice at his camps over the next several months, it will cause a serious financial hardship for him until he is well enough to work again. This is where we can help! 

弘紀は非常に熱心なプロ・ゴーリーコーチであり、世界中を旅しながら、ユースレベルからプロまで、ゴーリーたちが自分の持てる最高のポテンシャルを発揮できるよう手助けしています。常に新しく、斬新で、ゴーリーのパフォーマンスを向上させる指導法を追求するのが彼の情熱です。しかしこの先数か月間、キャンプでの氷上指導が出来なくなる可能性が高く、再び氷上に復帰できるまでの間、彼の収入に深刻な影響を与えます。そこで我々の助けが必要になります!

By his side, his wife Jun, travels with him and helps him manage his coaching business. Jun can do anything! Really anything! And I know she will take good care of Hiroki as he sets off on his treatment and road to recovery. 

弘紀の横に居るのは妻の淳子です。淳子は弘紀と一緒に旅をしながら彼のコーチ業を支えています。淳子は何でもできるんですよ。本当に、何でも!そして淳子は弘紀の治療と回復の道のりで、しっかりと彼の世話をしてくれるということを、私は知ってます。
As friends of Hiroki, please consider a monetary donation to help them financially as they take on his serious health challenges over the next several months.  Thank you!

弘紀の友達として、彼がこの先直面する深刻なチャレンジを金銭面から助けられるように、募金することを検討してください。ありがとうございます。
