Wayne, and father Walter, Gretzky teamed up to help a great cause.

The Gretzkys donated $99,000 to the University Hospital Fund’s Brain Centre Campaign.

“As people may know my dad went through a brain trauma injury in 1991 and spent seven or eight days in a coma and three and a half years at a clinic, and, obviously, today he’s doing extremely well,” Gretzky said in a video the Edmonton Oilers tweeted out Tuesday.

Wayne is an honorary chair of the Brain Centre Campaign.
