Pro golfer Michelle Wie donated 100 million won to Korea University Medical Center to be used for the treatment of patients with dwarfism.

Michelle Wie delivered 100 million won to Oh Dong-joo, President of Korea University Medical Center, at the donation ceremony held at Lotte Hotel on Thursday, April 9th. The donation ceremony was attended by Michelle Wie, Oh Dong-joo, President of Korea University Medical Center, Byun Kwan-soo, President of Korea University Guro Hospital, Song Hae-ryong, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery, LPK (Little People of Korea) officials, as well as children with dwarfism and their families who will receive treatment and surgery through this fund, adding to the significance.

Prior to the donation ceremony, Michelle Wie met children with dwarfism at the Nike store in Lotte Department Store and presented them with bags and shoes. In particular, children who had undergone surgery and treatment with the 150 million won donated by Michelle Wie to Korea University Medical Center in 2006 also attended the event and greeted each other happily. Michelle Wie was also moved to see the children who had grown much taller than they were three years ago, and expressed her special affection by personally putting bags on them and putting on their shoes.

Michelle Wie said, "I was surprised to see that the friends who were really small three years ago had received treatment and grown a lot. I am happy that they seem to be much prettier and more confident." "I am grateful for the letters that my friends who received help from me sent me, and I was happy to meet them again today. I always carry a doll that one of my friends gave me in my golf bag, but it is very old after 3 years. I hope that it will be of great help to the treatment of many friends in the future."

Oh Dong-joo, President of Korea University Medical Center, expressed his gratitude, saying, "Michelle Wie's help does not simply support treatment costs. It is giving children with dwarfism the courage to live more confidently." "I heard that the children who received help pray that Michelle Wie will achieve good results in every game. Please work harder in the games and for the children so that they can have greater hope."
