Charlotte FC’s recent support for Atrium Health cancer patients will continue on the pitch, as the club recognizes longtime cancer survivor Darwin Cortez as honorary captain before its home match on Saturday.
30-year-old Cortez was first diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at age 3 while living in Honduras. After moving to North Carolina as a teenager, he received care at Atrium Health Levine Children’s Hospital, where his care team determined a bone marrow transplant offered his best chance for long-term survival.
More than 10 years after that transplant, Cortez remains cancer-free and works for Rugs.com in Fort Mill. His honorary captain recognition brings together survivorship, community support, and the shared commitment of Atrium Health, Charlotte FC and Rugs.com.
On July 28, Charlotte FC players Tyger Smalls, Henry Kessler and Rodolfo Aloko joined Sir Minty and the Rugs.com team for a visit to the Atrium Health Levine Cancer infusion center, where they surprised patients with comfort packages that included blankets donated by Rugs.com. Cortez, a Rugs.com warehouse supervisor, attended alongside his colleagues ahead of being recognized by Charlotte FC.
