Last May, while playing in a Memorial Day Tournament, Milan Moosavizadeh of Winchester, Massachusetts, suffered a heart attack. Milan was a member of Benfica USA, the Winchester High School boy's varsity soccer program, and Mass ODP.
Medical attention was slow in arriving, and the loss of oxygen to his brain seemed severe. After exhausting all their options, the doctors felt it was best to take him off life support.
Miraculously, Milan survived, and his condition has improved so much that he was recently moved from Children's Hospital into his home in Winchester, where he undergoes in-patient therapy.
An amazing story, to be sure. Yet every day for Milan and his folks is a challenge. As a result, his “soccer family” is holding two special events on Saturday, November 27, 2010: an alumni-varsity soccer game in the afternoon and a party with food, music, a raffle and a silent auction in the evening.
We’re calling this day a “Match for Milan.”
If anyone is interested in donating to "The Milan Fund" or an item for the silent auction, please contact Ernie Drougas at edrougas@biscoirrigation.com.
