For the last several years, Sporting Kansas City players have made regular visits to Children's Mercy Hospital to interact with kids and participate in a variety of activities, ranging from board games and arts and crafts to surprise birthday parties.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Sporting players have been unable to visit Children's Mercy Hospital in person. But the coronavirus hasn't stopped them from interacting with patients at the facility and brightening their days.
On Tuesday morning, Sporting midfielder Ilie Sanchez conducted a virtual visit to the main Children's Mercy campus in Kansas City, Missouri, to talk with kids receiving medical treatment at the facility, including Rhylan who was previously The Victory Project honoree for Sporting's home match on May 1, 2016.
