Last year, the Colorado Rapids community pulled together to raise money and show our support for Laurie Ford, who is the mother of Rapids defender Kortne Ford. Laurie’s cancer numbers decreased last year, but we found out last month that those numbers have started to climb again and the doctors have given her a terminal diagnosis.
Laurie drives three hours round trip, five days a week for treatments that are not covered by insurance. There is a test that can determine the type of chemotherapy that would target her cancer cells.
