Young Toronto Raptors fan Rishi Duggal was set to go on a trip to the Galapagos Islands through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, after a three-year battle with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Unfortunately, the coronavirus pandemic put a stop to those plans.
The surprise that Rishi got instead might be even better: A personal call from Pascal Siakam to check in on him and his family!
A genuinely heartwarming gesture by Spicy P. Since many people have turned to FaceTime calls and video conferencing as a means to communicate while staying at home, we’re seeing many prominent athletes use their spare time right now to reach out to their fans personally.
Even Brad Marchand, the super-pest himself, surprised a youth hockey team in Nova Scotia... although he still had it in him to chirp a young Habs fan!
