Ice hockey player Mike Glemser was seriously injured in February. Now his club, the Starbulls Rosenheim, is trying to help. Fans donate to him.
The Starbulls Rosenheim have called for a fundraiser for the injured Mike Glemser. Glemser broke two cervical vertebrae during the game in Garmisch-Partenkirchen at the beginning of February and injured his spinal cord. He was then treated in the hospital in Murnau, which specializes in spinal injuries, but he remains paraplegic. As the Starbulls say, he “can’t move his legs or his hands and sometimes his arms uncontrollably”.
Glemser is 25 years old and comes from Stuttgart. The attacker moved to Rosenheim in the summer in the third-class Oberliga, before that he had played in Essen or Hanover and played over 50 second-division games for Dresden and Selb.
Donations for a paraplegic ice hockey player in Bavaria
Mike Glemser’s family and friends have set up a donation account for him, as the association writes in a message on its website. You can donate there from now on. “The family is being actively supported by the Starbulls Rosenheim throughout the fundraising campaign,” the association announced.
Starbulls CEO Thaller expects at least 250,000 euros to be collected from the campaign. Overall, Glemser should need 500,000 to 750,000 euros for his medical care. “I can only call on everyone to donate to Mike and to support him on his incredibly difficult path,” says Thaller. Rosenheim is one of the most traditional ice hockey teams in Germany and has been German champion three times.
