A number of Leeds United first-team players paid a visit to Leeds Children’s Hospital on Thursday afternoon to spread some festive cheer. The Whites have been unable to make their trip to the hospital in over two years as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak.
Luke Ayling, Mateusz Klich, Adam Forshaw, Robin Koch, Rodrigo, Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen, Pascal Struijk, Cody Drameh and Leo Hjelde, headed straight to the city centre-based hospital following training on Thursday to visit youngsters and their families who are currently receiving care on various wards. The club has a long standing relationship with the hospital and they were pleased to be able to link up with the staff again this year.
During the special visit, which was organised with the support of the club’s official charity partner Yorkshire Cancer Research, the Whites contingent spent time handing out Leeds United goody bags, which included books, teddy bears, hats, scarves and more, as well as chatting to the young patients and their loved ones, helping to lift the spirits of those who have had to spend time over the festive period in hospital and may have to continue doing so.
