KALISPELL — A Glacier High School soccer player remains in the ICU in Kalispell after he was struck by lightning during practice Monday night.

A GoFundMe page set up to help cover Mason’s medical expenses has received hundreds of donations raising more than $54,000 as of Friday evening.

A message shared from the family on the GoFundMe page Thursday morning said, “Mason is stable at this time and able to squeeze our hands.”

The GoFundMe page was updated on Friday afternoon and states:

"Mason has had some bumps in the road the last 2 days of his recovery. He remains on life support at this time. We remain hopeful and are thankful for everyone’s continuing support."

A second player and an assistant coach also injured from the lightning strike were released from the hospital earlier this week.

We will continue to update this story as more information becomes available.
