Henry helps give nine-year-old a day she will never forget
On Thursday, nine-year-old Kennedy had a day she will never forget, thanks to the Washington Commanders and former Clemson defensive end KJ Henry.
Kennedy, a Clemson and Commanders superfan, has battled leukemia since May 2021. She recently finished her leukemia treatment and is currently in maintenance phase.
As a way of celebrating, Kennedy spent Thursday at the Commanders’ practice, where she was able to meet all of the players and staff, including her favorite player — Henry, who was drafted out of Clemson by the Commanders in the fifth round of this year’s draft.
The Commanders posted a great video on Twitter showing Kennedy’s day with the team and Henry, who helped make the day a very special one for her.
