Twelve of Cook Children's patients had a once in a lifetime experience on Sunday when they served as flag bearers for the first World Cup match taking place in Arlington. Check out photos from this very special event, as Japan took on the Netherlands.
Cook Children’s was chosen through a partnership between Children’s Miracle Network and Coca-Cola to supply all 12 flag bearers for the match opening ceremony. Each teen overcame significant medical challenges. The flag bearers represent unity, pride and the global spirit of the tournament.
Stories of Cook Children's flag bearers have been featured by journalists across the region, touching the heart of millions of people. See three of the patient stories below featuring Wesley Duncan, Kian Francis, and Cristo Hernández.
