‘Awesome Avery’ Berg to raise 12th Man flag near CenturyLink on Monday

The Seahawks are on Monday Night Football this week, and on Monday morning, a West Seattle superfan will be raising a 12th Man flag on TV:

That’s the video made with 11-year-old “Awesome Avery” Berg and her fellow students at Explorer West Middle School (WSB sponsor). KING 5 called for nominees to raise a 12th Man Flag at their broadcast location at Stadium Place, just outside CenturyLink Field, and dozens of supporters made the case for Avery. We brought you her story back in September, as she started middle school shortly after being diagnosed with a rare brain cancer called AT/RT. Barbara Travers told us this afternoon about Avery’s upcoming flag-raising – she will be interviewed between 8:30 and 9 am on KING’s morning news, and then will raise their 12th Man flag at the end of the broadcast.

P.S. Avery’s mom has continued to post updates online; most recently, Avery finished radiation treatments, and will soon be undergoing chemotherapy.
