Greg Olsen is awesome

[Smithers]

My 2nd cousin (by marriage) has been fighting for her life the last several weeks after being run over and left for dead by a drug dealing asshole.  She was recently transferred to Levine’s Children Hospital in Charlotte.  A few weeks ago, doctors thought she would die.  Today, her eyes are open and she is relearning basic motor skills.  She has suffered extensive brain damage, but is making progress despite the doctors’ prognosis.

Yesterday...she was visited by a man who seems to always put others before himself.   A man who had plenty of reasons to be doing something else.  A man who just dropped in without being asked by the family.  Greg is truly a community servant.  God bless this man for bringing a smile to the face of an 18 year old who has had her life forever altered.  I’ve been a die hard Panthers fan since day 1.  I’ve been a die hard Olsen fan since we first traded for him.  But this...this was personal.  It hit home...thank you Greg.  Thank you Carolina Panthers.

Really awesome act of kindness by Greg. Wish more athletes did things like this

Greg is/was so worthy of Man of the Year.  Great stuff!

Your cousin is obviously a fighter...I expect a full recovery very soon!

Greg Olsen is a great person and a hall of famer. Enough said. Touching moment there.

I am like you.  I was thrilled when we traded for him and he is such a class act.

I wish your cousin all the best.

Nice Story.
