Olympian Auctions Her Silver Medal To Meet Infant’s Heart Surgery cost
Maria Andrzycz, a javelin thrower from Poland who earned a silver medal in the Olympics in Tokyo, has sold her medal.
This choice is surprising, but the rationale behind it is unique.
Maria, a cancer survivor, auctioned off her Olympic medal online to benefit a baby in Poland.
Miloshnak Malissa, an 8-month-old girl, has a severe cardiac problem.
She is now receiving treatment in the United States.
This therapy will be quite expensive.
The winner of the auction, a Polish grocer, informed her she could keep the medal.
