Lauren Holiday is one of the most decorated soccer players of all-time. She scored 24 goals in 133 appearances with the U.S. women’s national team, and helped Team USA win two Olympic gold medals and a World Cup.
One of the greatest competitors in the world is about to overcome another challenge: a benign brain tumor.
Holiday is currently pregnant. Once she gives birth in October, she’s expected to wait roughly six weeks before undergoing surgery on the tumor.
Holiday’s husband, New Orleans Pelicans point guard Jrue Holiday, is going to take time away from the NBA to care for his wife.
