<p>Schefter&#8217;s post included several photos of Mayer helping people in the country.</p>
<p>&#8220;Thom [Mayer]  is one of our Greyshirts who was on the ground providing crucial patient care in Ukraine and helping lead training of local Ukrainian medical personnel,&#8221; Team Rubicon <a href="https://twitter.com/TeamRubicon/status/1518661656389111808?s=20&amp;t=yN4nL0LJ4u3QTtqZEgIMaA">tweeted</a> about the trip.&#8221;#BuiltToServe.&#8221;</p>
<p>The NFLPA also shared several photos on Twitter of the medical director working with Ukrainians.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our Chief Medical Director, Dr. Thom Mayer, spent the past few weeks treating hundreds of Ukrainians with<br />
@TeamRubicon and training over 1,700 local medical professionals,&#8221; the tweet from Team Rubicon <a href="https://twitter.com/NFLPA/status/1518661848618336256?s=20&amp;t=yN4nL0LJ4u3QTtqZEgIMaA">read</a>. &#8220;We’re proud to have Dr. Mayer on our team.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, the NFL&#8217;s <a href="https://www.newyorkjets.com/news/jets-donate-1-million-to-aid-ukranian-relief-efforts">New York Jets</a> donated $1 million in relief aid to help the Ukrainian people after Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded the country in February.</p>
<p>&#8220;These donations will positively impact Ukrainian refugees and their families with essential supplies,&#8221; New York Jets Chairman Robert Wood Johnson shared at the time. &#8220;The need for resources is continuously growing. Our thoughts continue to be with the innocent lives who have been affected and all those who are suffering.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Today in Ukraine, many people are suffering,&#8221; Johnson&#8217;s wife, Suzanne, who grew up in a Ukrainian neighborhood in New York and is from a family of immigrants, added. &#8220;Because of this, it is important to us to provide assistance to organizations making a true difference on the ground. My family and I are heartbroken by the devastation and loss and are praying for the individuals who have become refugees and those still living and working in Ukraine.&#8221;</p>
