Canada rugby sevens team playing for four-year-old diagnosed with leukemia
The Canadian men’s rugby sevens team will wear orange laces at the New Zealand Sevens this weekend in support of Paisley MacRury, a four-year-old from Abbotsford, B.C., who is battling leukemia.
“Your strength is inspiring to us and we’re going to be taking that on the field this weekend,” Canadian international Jake Thiel said in a social media post.
An orange ribbon promotes leukemia awareness. Paisley, who is almost five, was diagnosed Dec. 18.
