For my clinical this semester, I am working with the women's basketball team at BYU! I have absolutely loved it... all the girls are so sweet and fun! One of our players, Alexis Kaufusi, was diagnosed with cancer about a month ago. Originally she was diagnosed with hodgkin's lymphoma but later found out that she actually has non-hodgkin's lymphoma. Well, the color of awareness for hodgkin's lymphoma is purple so even when she was diagnosed with non-hodgkin's they decided to stick with purple! Even though this has been a trial for the whole team, it has been so awesome to just see how everyone has come together to support her. She has been in all of our prayers and we wish her the best of luck through this fight! Love ya, Fus!
Utah's basketball team got purple shirts made to warm up in the day we played them. I just thought it was so cool that even though we are rivals, they totally supported Fus in this battle.
Purple nails, of course. The whole team painted their nails purple!
The whole team with their new warm up shirts. It's kinda hard to see but they say AK 10 with a purple ribbon.
