LOS ANGELES (Friday, April 8, 2022) – The LA Galaxy yesterday hosted Chance, a 17-year-old teenager from Granada Hills, at the LA Galaxy’s first team training session at Dignity Health Sports Park. Chance is bravely battling epilepsy and is receiving a once-in-a-lifetime surprise via Make-A-Wish.
Chance’s wish to attend an LA Galaxy training session was granted yesterday, as he had the opportunity to watch a Galaxy training session up close and meet all his favorite players and coaching staff.
On Saturday, April 9, Chance and his family will be special guests of the LA Galaxy at the club’s rivalry match against LAFC, even getting the opportunity to watch pregame warmups from field level.
