LPGA Star Uses Her Daughter’s Excruciating Health Battle To Do a Noble Cause; Jessica Korda and Rest of Golf World Lends a Hand in Support

LPGA is hosting its new tournament Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational from tomorrow. But the competitive spirit aside the tournament is also being used for a noble cause.

LPGA Tour pro Jane Park, who is suffering the ill fate of watching her daughter fight an extreme illness, will also be competing in the event. However, she is using this opportunity to do extreme good, and golf stars like Jessica Korda and other pro golfers are extending their support in the matter.

LPGA Pro Jane Park’s noble cause at the LPGA Tournament

After marrying caddie Pete Godfrey in 2017, Park was blessed with a baby girl in 2020, named Grace Godfrey. But tragedy made a strike on the happy family when 10 months after her birth, the baby girl started having seizures and swelling in her brain and was rushed to the hospital. Ultimately the seizures and swelling led to brain damage which resulted in Grace facing a life of hardships ahead of her. And to support Grace and her family in their difficult journey, a special hat with the name of Grace engraved on it will be available at the DOW event.

The official Instagram page of the event also shared a picture of the cap. All the money collected from the purchase of these caps will be given to charities that treat similar diseases.

While ace golfer Alisson Lee, shared the news through her Instagram stories that read, “While Jane Park was competing at the 2021 Ascendant LPGA, her daughter, Grace, then 10 months old, experienced a series of undiagnosed seizures and suffered severe brain damage. In support of Grace, Jane, and Peter Godfrey – special ‘Grace’ hats will be available for purchase this week as the DOW GLB. The proceeds will be donated to the Epilepsy Foundation and Golf4her Foundation.”

The Instagram story of Alison Lee was then further reshared by Jessica Korda as well, although Jessica will be missing the event.

Nelly Korda and Lexi Thompson have also contributed to Park’s cause earlier

Before this, the LPGA community made another big gesture to support Park and her family with the growing expense of childcare. In the month of May, a special charity event named ‘Saving Grace’ was held in The Clubhouse in Fairfield, New Jersey. At the event, star golfers like Nelly Korda, Lexi Thompson, and 20 other LPGA stars appeared to help support the cause. Such kind of overwhelming support must have given Park and her family great strength to fight the situation.

Once again with their heart-touching gesture, the LPGA ladies showed that they value sisterhood above rivalry. What do you think about Alison’s and Korda’s sweet efforts? Let us know in the comments below.
