I plan to watch this in just a few hours, who wants to join me? It’s a benefit put on by some of our favorite skaters to get supplies to health care workers to fight COVID-19.

Update: I watched the benefit and contributed to Americares. I enjoyed Gracie and Jason’s enthusiasm. The skaters’ contributions were uneven, but there were a few gems like Viktor Petrenko dancing and Kurt Browning rocking footwork on roller skates. The emotional heart of it was hearing from Gracie Gold’s mother, who is an ER nurse. She recounted that while people are calling them heroes, she is afraid to go to work every day. That makes her more of a hero in my book.
