Quote:On the field and in the virtual space, whether he’s dancing the Gangnam or tweeting in his inimitable style, Gayle is the embodiment of ‘cool’, but those around him here as well as in his native Kingston rave equally about his penchant to ‘give back to the community’. And it was on Instagram that he first came across Lee-Anna Walker and the 17-year-old Jamaican student’s life-threatening fight with leukemia in mid-February. Within days, he had not only met the girl and her mother in person, Gayle also decided to donate $20,000 for her treatment.

“Lee-Anna has never missed a day in school, and her reports clearly show that she’s a bright student. Unfortunate that she’s missing her pre-university exams. She was so sweet and didn’t look worried at all, and I want to ensure she overcomes this,” he says.
