Lady Vols Visit Children’s Hospital

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- On Thursday afternoon, members of the Lady Vols basketball team traveled to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital for Cole’s Launch.

Cole’s Launch is a celebration at the hospital for former patient, Cole Cross, who was diagnosed with cancer and passed away at the age of six. Cole was known for flying paper airplanes as a kid, and so the event was created to celebrate his life.

“I enjoyed visiting with the little kids; they were so happy and excited to see us,” freshman Kamera Harris said. “It was really fun. I met a guy named Alex; he was full of energy.
