PEORIA, Ill. -- Third-year Bradley Volleyball head coach Carol Price-Torok made a special addition to her roster with the signing of Allie Salmon (Pekin, Ill.) to a Letter of Intent during a special ceremony Thursday afternoon at Renaissance Coliseum.  
 
A 10-year old from nearby Pekin, Ill., Allie is currently undergoing treatment at St. Louis Children's Hospital for an immune dysfunction known as Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM), which is an inflammatory disease of the muscle (myositis), skin, and blood vessels that affects approximately three in one million children each year.  She was diagnosed with JDM, which primary symptoms include muscle weakness and skin rash, in June 2016.  Team IMPACT helped make the connection between Allie and Bradley Volleyball.
 
Allie received a jersey at her Letter of Intent signing, where she was joined by her parents Corrie and Dustin along with her siblings Avery, Axton and Arisa. 
 
"We are excited to add Allie to our team and very thankful for the opportunity to partner with Team Impact," said Price-Torok.  "I am glad sport could bring Allie and her family into our lives.  She has had the chance to come to a few matches and practices already this season and we are looking forward to seeing her on campus throughout the fall.  Our team will learn and grow as much as Allie will and for that we are grateful to have her on the team."
 
Allie has attended several matches during the 2018 season and has been a frequent guest at practices this fall. 
 
The mission of Team IMPACT is to improve the quality of life for children facing life-threatening and chronic illnesses by establishing and expanding vibrant team-based support networks.
