This Saturday, Premier Doug Ford joined Olympian Hayley Wickenheiser at the weekly Conquer COVID-19 personal protective equipment (PPE) drive in Toronto. 

In a series of April 11 tweets, Ford shared photos of himself wearing a mask and gloves picking up boxes of PPE and loading them into his personal truck to deliver to the grassroots organization Conquer COVID-19. 

Thank you to Todd Bourgon and the Trillium Automobile Dealers for the incredible donation of 32,000 masks. I’m driving those over to @wick_22 and the entire @conquercovid19 right now! #OntarioSpirit pic.twitter.com/spO1vTIp00

Conquer COVID-19 is a grassroots organization comprised of physicians, business leaders, entrepreneurs and volunteers aiming to ensure that frontline workers have access to essential supplies in treating patients and minimizing the spread of the virus.

The organization got a lot of attention earlier this week when Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds tweeted out his support for the cause and decided to offer his own gifts in exchange for PPE gear.

About 30 minutes after his first tweet Ford tweeted again. 

Today I’m here with the amazing @wick_22 and the men and women of the @conquercovid19 team for their PPE drive. Incredible leadership. Incredible spirit. I am honoured to see them in action. We are #StrongerTogether. If you have PPE please donate. https://t.co/JOT7pYO9CW pic.twitter.com/txJVG9Nsnh

He also posted pictures of himself and Wickenheiser at the drive site.
