HEAR KYLE'S STORY
Kyle’s dedication and love for the sport of lacrosse was unparalleled. In high school, Kyle was driven and focused to take his talent as a lacrosse goalie to the next level In 2002, Kyle landed a scholarship at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, where he planned to study and play as a starting goalie for the Cornell Big Red lacrosse team. That was, until the unthinkable happened and everything Kyle had worked to achieve was brought to a halt. After experiencing an injury to his right leg, Kyle was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma cancer, the same form of bone cancer that took the life of Canadian hero, Terry Fox.
Kyle underwent treatment, including chemotherapy and extensive surgery in Toronto, ON. Within two years of being diagnosed with cancer, Kyle returned to the lacrosse field where he helped his team, Cornell Big Red, to win his first of four Ivy League Championships.
