Friends of hockey player Buchtela, who fights heart cancer, ask for help

“I would never have believed that we would ever get into a situation where we had to do this, but the paths of fate are unpredictable and it happened. That is why we, the closest friends, decided to open this account, “said Pavla Zbíralová on her instagram profile.

Ústí nad Labem’s Buchtel offspring, who has 27 extra-league starts for the Pirates of Chomutov and is now a regular player of the Liberec White Tigers, confided his cruel diagnosis on his Instagram in early June: sarcoma of the heart muscle, which also affected both lungs.

“Ondra was released into home care by the palliative team. He is doing better at the moment, but every day it’s like on a swing. He is dependent on oxygen, a wheelchair and without the help of another he can’t actually do anything, “writes Zbíralová.

“Because the situation happened very quickly and we are pressed for time, we are looking for financial support in this way. As friends, we wish Ondra the greatest comfort. Therefore, we would like to help ensure that the money collected is spent not only on medical supplies, doctors and medical aids, but also on his plans and dreams. To be able to enjoy life 100 percent, although it is now limited. “

The number of the transparent account is 123-0762430277 / 0100, and the hockey clubs through which it has passed also call for support.

And hockey players across competitions and clubs are bidding on their hockey properties. For example, Buchtel’s former teammate from Chomutov, now Philadelphia Flyers striker in the NHL, David Kaše, offers an ice hockey stick with his signature on his Instagram, the highest bid has already climbed to 50,000 crowns.

Other players also joined, such as Nicolas Hlava, Jakub Lauko, Marek Hovorka or Dominik Pavlát.

When he announced the bad news of Buchtel via social networks, he wrote: “You don’t expect cancer in 20 years, but when it comes, there is nothing left but to fight. There is no time to regret asking why me and not the other. “

He represented the talented defender in all youth categories, spending the last season in first-league Venice with statistics of 57 matches, 9 goals, 16 assists.
