CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Greg Olsen glanced out the front window of his South Charlotte home and saw his 8-year-old son, TJ, kicking a soccer ball against the wall with his twin sister, Talbot.
"You know, it's just remarkable how resilient these kids are," the recently retired Carolina Panthers tight end said. "And what these doctors can do is remarkable."
Just three weeks earlier, TJ had undergone a heart transplant at Atrium Health Levine Children's Hospital. The Olsens have raised more than $5 million for the Charlotte-based facility since their son was born with congenital heart disease in 2012.
