Jillion Potter beat cancer to make the first U.S. Olympic women’s rugby team. She’s out to beat it again.
Potter, 30, has been diagnosed with Synovial Sarcoma for the second time in two and a half years.
“Jillion has been more than just an ambassador for USA Rugby and the global game,” USA Rugby CEO Dan Payne said in a press release. “As we all know, she’s brave; a courageous teammate in and out of rugby and an inspiration to all. This latest development, though heartbreaking, is an opportunity for the community to again stand behind one of our own as she fights cancer a second time.
