Throughout his 10-year tenure as a member of Sporting Kansas City, defender Graham Zusi has visited Children’s Mercy Hospital countless times to interact and play games with kids affected by cancer and other serious illnesses.
These heartwarming occasions give children and their families a unique opportunity to connect and bond with Zusi and several other Sporting players over the course of the year.
On Tuesday, Zusi’s trip to Children’s Mercy offered a surprise that left the MLS veteran in tears.
Upon entering the hospital’s activity room, Zusi was greeted by Children’s Mercy patients with some big news: he had been selected as a 2019 MLS All-Star.
