WEST Perth Football Club will hit the field at Joondalup Arena in odd socks this Saturday.

The club’s three grades will take part in the Sock it to Sarcoma initiative to help raise awareness and fund medical research into the rare and devastating cancer.

Heading the charge will be Colts player Logan Foley, brother of Kalin Foley, and senior player Bailey Chalmers, who was a friend of Kalin’s.

Kalin was diagnosed with the rare rhabdomyosarcoma when he was 12.

He battled the disease for three years but succumbed to the illness in 2014 at age 15.

West Perth takes on East Fremantle on August 3, with the Colts at 9am, Reserves at 11.30am and League at 2.15pm.

The West Perth mascot will also be encouraging fans to donate and the Colts players will be shaking tins at the gates and around the game.

Information flyers will also be distributed throughout the day.
