A Chance to Smile

8-year-old gets wish, plays vs. Timbers

http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1432116/8-year-old-cancer-patient-gets-play-timbers?cc=5901

PORTLAND, Ore. -- After missing his team's final soccer match last season because of cancer treatment, 8-year-old Atticus Lane-Dupre made sure his teammates were in on his wish to scrimmage against the Portland Timbers.


On Wednesday, the Timbers and Make-A-Wish Oregon treated Atticus' team, the Green Machine, to a game at Jeld-Wen Field. More than 3,000 fans came out to lend their support...

It's always nice to see people go out of their way to make other people happy. Kudos to the Portland Timbers and the 3,000 fans that showed up as well.

Thanks to Wait Wut for pointing me in the direction of this forum.
