As a radio host for Sports Radio KJR in Seattle, Ian Furness has endless stories of pro athletes, teams and the impact of sports in the local community and region. Last Sunday at CenturyLink Field, though, provided perhaps the most special sports moment of his career. Furness’ son, Kiefer, a high school student who was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, met up with Seattle Sounders star forward and T1D advocate Jordan Morris.
“It has been a crazy, tumultuous and emotional few weeks for me, my family and I’ve had to lean on a lot of folks here as a part of that,” Furness said on his radio show on Monday.
