Chasing a dream is never something you do alone. Looking back, I wouldn’t have become a professional soccer player without the people who believed in me when I needed it most. Thank you @CVS Health for partnering with me to share this story and @Victory+ W for helping bring it to life. Healthier happens together. #CVSpartner #Soccer
