Will Bruin surprises Seattle Sounders fan battling cancer for a second time

Will Bruin celebrates goal Rapids 2017-10-23

Anne Becker, a mother of two who lives in Bremerton and is a huge Seattle Sounders fan, thought it was just another day of chemotherapy last Friday...until she received a surprise phone call.


Who was on the other line? Sounders forward Will Bruin.


For several minutes, the MLS veteran chatted with Becker, who is battling leiomyosarcoma. They talked about a variety of topics, including her son's soccer games and her mindset of fighting cancer for the second time.



Here are a couple of our favorite lines:


  • 00:45 - "You do realize you're one of our favorite players, and you're talking to the mom of a center back!"
  • 3:10 - "Oh my goodness, I can't believe I'm talking to Will Bruin!"
  • 5:16 - "Oh my goodness, oh wow. And I am wearing my Sounders scarf!"
  • 5:55 - "Thank you. It's nice to talk soccer with someone who definitely knows and understands the game."
  • 6:35 - "Thank you so much, I appreciate it. Go Sounders! 
  • 6:50 - "There will be plenty of soccer games in the future that I will be making it to."
