Woo brought to tears by gifted cleats from young cancer patients
Bryan Woo still remembers his time in the ICU vividly.
For how terrifying it was, but also for the thoughtful care of the medical staff that helped him and his family navigate what remains one of their toughest life challenges.
So, when the Mariners’ electric right-hander pushed to create more individual connection with the Pacific Northwest community entering this season, he had a very specific demographic and cause in mind, which was brought to life on Wednesday.
Woo welcomed to T-Mobile Park two cancer patients from Seattle Children’s Hospital -- Charlotte Malone, 11, and Cooper Anderson, 12, as well as their families. But it was the youngsters who presented Woo with gifts of a lifetime, which brought him to tears.
