One day before the Seattle Sounders played Sporting Kansas City at CenturyLink Field in August 2017, nine-year-old Orlando was diagnosed with leukemia. Thirteen months later the Sounders once again hosted Sporting KC, but this time Orlando’s day was vastly different as he is now in remission.
In collaboration with the Sounders, the Seattle Ronald McDonald House (RMH) and Uber, the Official Rideshare Partner of Sounders FC, Orlando had the opportunity of a lifetime. The young soccer fan and his family were invited to the Sounders match on Saturday, September 1, where they saw the Sounders win 3-1.
