In a touching display of compassion, Manchester United Women players, Evie Rabjohn and Irene Guerrero, recently brought rays of joy to the Rainbow Ward at the Sir Anthony Mamo Oncology Centre in Malta. The Rainbow Ward, renowned for its dedication to providing comprehensive care for young patients undergoing oncology and haematology treatment, offers a sanctuary for both inpatient and outpatient services.

Upon their arrival at the Mater Dei Hospital, Rabjohn and Guerrero were warmly welcomed by hospital staff before being ushered to the Rainbow Ward. There, they met with the nurse in charge of the specialised ward, who graciously guided them on a tour while sharing insights into the essential work carried out in this unique healthcare facility. The duo learned that, at present, three young patients are receiving care on the Rainbow Ward.

Understanding the immense challenges faced by these children in their courageous battle against cancer, Rabjohn and Guerrero went above and beyond by presenting each patient with a signed Manchester United kit. The players engaged in heartwarming and light-hearted conversations, creating an atmosphere of joy and optimism that undoubtedly brought smiles to the faces of the young patients and their families navigating through the challenging journey of illness.

The visit not only lifted the spirits of the young warriors on the Rainbow Ward but also had a profound impact on the broader hospital community. The presence of the Manchester United Women players infused the hospital with a sense of unity, solidarity, and hope. Their gesture highlighted the power of sports figures to uplift and inspire, transcending the boundaries of the football pitch and entering the hearts of those in need.

This heartening visit was a part of Manchester United Women’s broader commitments during their winter training camp in Malta, held between the 3rd and 8th of January.
