Written by Site Hub on June 8, 2021
At the young age of 16, on July 2, 2019, Olivia Glidden was kicked in the leg during a soccer game and her life was changed forever.
Her mom Jennifer Glidden stated:
“My daughter played soccer, she played basketball, she was top in her scoring, things like that and now she can’t play, she can’t run, her life has changed and she’s only 16.”
When Olivia was kicked, it caused a condition known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome or CRPS. In other words, instead of the kick causing a bump on the outside of her leg, it went inward damaging her nerves.
So far, with a GoFundMe and a spaghetti dinner, they have raised $14,000.
On June 13th from 4-7 they are holding a BBQ dinner. The tickets are presale and anyone is welcome to purchase them, just text Olivia at 585-222-9233.
