With September being Kick Childhood Cancer Month across Major League Soccer, the Subaru Love Promise Playmaker will turn its focus to telling to stories of those families who are or have battled the disease. Ahead of Philadelphia Union's home contest at Subaru Park against the New England Revolution on Saturday night, we're proud to honor and tell Rylan McNeill's story from his father Justin.
In June of 2019, Rylan McNeill was only 7 months old when he was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), after contracting an infection that required a 17-day stay in the intensive care unit at the Bristol Meyers Squibb Children’s Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ.
