Photo of Orlando Pride’s Carson Pickett dabbing young fan will melt your heart
The day after the Orlando Pride defeated Sky Blue F.C. 1-0 this past weekend, defender Carson Pickett and one of her younger fans created a viral moment.
Pickett, a 25-year-old born without her left forearm and hand, dabbed two-year-old Joseph Tidd, who was also born without a left forearm and hand.
University of Florida women’s soccer coach Becky Burleigh posted a photo of the moment and it quickly went viral on the social media platform, Twitter.
As of Monday afternoon, the photo, which was posted Sunday morning, was retweeted more than 7,700 times and liked more than 34,200 times.
The photo was originally shot by Joseph’s parents and they posted it to Instagram in June.
It was not the first time Pickett, who played at Florida State and is from the Jacksonville area, and Tidd have met. The two met in April, according to Orlando’s Fox 35.
