Kid Captain
Whitecaps FC are honoured to have Oli Turner from BC Children's Hospital Foundation for Sunday's MLS Cup Playoffs match against FC Dallas.
Three months into kindergarten, Oli’s life was turned upside-down. He was diagnosed with acute b-cell lymphoblastic leukemia, a fast-growing blood cancer, and had to trade making friends and playing lacrosse with hospital stays and blood tests. Oli persisted through physically devastating cancer treatments, and a deep fear of needles. Thanks to donor-supported services at BC Children’s Hospital, like the Child Life program, he connected with a child life specialist who helped him understand his cancer and overcome his fears. Determined to give back, Oli organized a fundraiser with his mom and school community, raising almost $10,000 to support other sick kids at BC Children’s.
Please join in welcoming Oli to the match!
Supporter of the Match
Sunday's Supporter of the Match will be Jüs Percy from Rain City Brigade.
Jüs has been a Whitecaps FC supporter for at least 10 years now. Her favourite memory was when Alphonso Davies scored two goals in his final match before departing for Bayern Munich, on her birthday! Her favourite part about being in RCB is that they are more than a supporters group, they are a family who take care of each other, with lifelong friendships that go beyond sport.
