The Werkself players thanked the nurses and support staff from the Klinikum Leverkusen. On behalf of everybody, Bayer 04 printed the names of ten members of staff on shirts. Lars Bender, Lukas Hradecky, Jonathan Tah, Kai Havertz and Co. signed them and had them delivered – unfortunately without saying thank you personally due to the current circumstances.
In addition to the Werkself players and several big names from the USA top leagues of the NBA (basketball) and NFL (American football), the former Bayer 04 crowd favourite Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez, now playing for LA Galaxy, also thanked the doctors, nurses and care workers as part of this campaign. Everyone can say thank you via the hashtags #TheRealHeroes and #WorldNursesday.
