The Ford family revealed this week that Laurie Ford, mother of Rapids defender Kortne Ford, is battling cancer again. There’s a gofundme set up to help the family with the costs, and if you can, give.
As of Thursday morning, May 4th, over 125 people have donated to helping out the Ford family defray the costs of another round of cancer treatments. Most notable are some donations from current MLS players; Sporting Kansas City’s Ike Opara has donated, as has Colorado Rapids winger Joshua Gatt.
