A Hot Springs teenager who has lymphoma
is traveling to Greece to watch Mia Hamm play soccer in the
Olympics.
Sixteen-year-old Lindsay Clingenpeel, a junior at Lakeside High
School, says she has played soccer since she was five and her dream
was to see Mia Hamm. The Make-A-Wish foundation contacted her
yesterday to let her know the trip was on.
When Lindsay found out she received a limo ride and dinner with
her soccer teammates, friends and family. She will travel with her
parents and a friend next Wednesday for an eight-night trip to
Athens and Thessaloniki, where they will watch the US Women`s
Soccer Team play.
Clingenpeel`s mother said the teenager`s lymphoma is in
remission, her prognosis is excellent, and she receives her final
chemotherapy treatment the day before she leaves for Greece.
