by Kaylene Ris '18Fontbonne Hall Academy’s Varsity Soccer Team played their games in honor of children who have died from cancer to help spread awareness. The team decided to wear gold shirts in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
“We may be selling the shirts to family members and anyone who may be interested. Together we need to all do what we can and show awareness to get the government to assist in ending the pain and struggling in all children,” said Maria Dicarlo. The shirts were designed by Anthony DiCarlo and Romeo Petric. All the names on the shirts are of children with cancer, who are relatives or family friends of someone on the team. Before each game the Fontbonne soccer players wear the shirts during their warm ups. “I love wearing the shirts and representing the shirts to represent all those kids who are fighting for their lives every day,” said teammate, Kate Collins. The team began spreading awareness in 2014. Eddie Livingston, cousin of Jessica Geis, died of cancer when he was 5 years old. In his honor, the team wore “Super Eddie” shirts to show their support. This year, DiCarlo wanted to do something to make an impact on more children and to also help spread more awareness of childhood cancer.
