Dozens of children battling different
heart illnesses received stuffed toys and a lot of Holiday cheer from
Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA Philippines presented by Alaska this Christmas when
Jarrell Lim, Jr. NBA Philippines All-Star and Alaska Goodwill
Ambassador 2011 and Jr. NBA Coach Ruben Lanot visited the Pediatric
Ward of Philippine Heart Center this December. Apart from the gifts,
the UP Fighting Maroon guard and Coach Ruben encouraged the kids to
continue their battle against their various conditions and played
with them in their newly opened Play It Forward Play Space. Dr. Ina
Bunyi, Section Chief, Pediatric Cardiac Rehabilitation of the
Philippine Heart Center and her staff thanked the Jr. NBA Philippines
representatives for coming and cheering up the young patients. “The
toys and your words of encouragement made these young heart patients
happy. You have set them on the road to recovery,” she said. Above,
