BRUNSWICK, Ohio â Youâve heard the saying, âwhen life gives you lemons, make lemonade,â even if youâre just seven years old.
Behind each cup, each smile and occasional friendly âbooâ scare, is Gwen Ciccozziâs story of survival.
âGwen actually is a stroke survivor. She had a perinatal stroke. That means she had a stroke before she was even born,â said Gwenâs mother, Rebecca Ciccozzi. âWe didnât know if she would walk or talk or even be able to understand what other people were saying.â
