The team caught the eye of John Smythe, a 29-year-old Vancouver native who plays midfield for the men’s national field-hockey team.
But that’s the thing: If you’re allergic, you can never assume you’re safe.
That includes coaching. And that’s how Smythe met Eric’s parents at York House, where their daughter attends school. When they told him about Team Allergy, Smythe — who has Crohn’s Disease — immediately thought of his teammate Taylor Curran, a veteran midfielder from North Vancouver who has a peanut allergy.
To which Eric says a big thank you. It gives a boost to his goal of raising $8,000 toward allergy research at B.C. Children’s Hospital, a groundbreaking oral autoimmuno therapy program under the direction of Dr. Edmond Chan.
