Meet Md. Make-A-Wish teen with inspiring journey of competing on soccer field and against leukemia [Video]

Throughout the month of April, WTOP is highlighting our partnership with Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic and Operation Dream Maker, which raises money to fulfill the wishes of the children of our nation’s military heroes diagnosed with critical illnesses.

In today’s episode of “Matt About Town,” WTOP’s Matt Kaufax met 13-year-old Leanna from Pasadena, Maryland. Her journey fighting cancer and her experience meeting the U.S. women’s national soccer team as part of her wish will move and inspire you.
