The practice of sport is very important for the physical development of children and parents should encourage it. But also for your emotional health, with multiple proven benefits.
And if you still doubt it, pay attention to the history of Bheem Goyal, an eight-year-old boy, follower of the Seattle Sounders football team (United States).
The little one, who is following a hard chemotherapy treatment to beat a leukemia, debuted as a starting goalkeeper in the friendly match between his team and Borussia Dortmund at Century Link Field.
His bravery and professionalism moved all the attendees, which gave him a great ovation.
An example of overcoming
Bheem has been undergoing a hard chemotherapy treatment for eight months to overcome the leukemia he has been diagnosed with.
Leukemia is one of the most common childhood cancers, which affects the marrow and tissues that make blood cells. Fortunately, it is a disease that has a good chance of cure through various treatments depending on the type of leukemia, such as chemotherapy, radiation and bone marrow transplants.
His participation in the meeting was a tribute to his courage.
And it is that according to his father in Infobae, his son has evolved very favorably. In fact, last April he went to take a test to enter the lower categories of the club and since then he is on the squad of the sub 9.
It's more, "Bheem speaks at all times of his future career as Sounder", declares his father.
