Kicks for Cancer is a fund raiser for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute established by CCHS soccer in memory of Lois Wells, the mother of the team’s assistant coach, Steve Wells.  In its 8th year, the event has raised over $130,000 for cancer research.  Players wear jerseys with the name of someone they would like to remember or honor.  When I first photographed this event 7 years ago, I was moved to photograph the team from the back and did so again this afternoon.

Maya chose to honor my sister, Alissa, who is winning her battle with cancer.  CCHS defeated arch rival, Lincoln Sudbury by a score of 2-0.
