Polish javelin thrower Maria Andrejczyk had a hard road to the 2020 Olympics. She just missed the medal cutoff in Rio in 2016, suffered an injury in 2017, was diagnosed with cancer in 2018, but fought her way back. In Tokyo, Andrejczyk won the silver medal.
On Wednesday, Andrejczyk posted on her Facebook page that she came across the fundraiser for 8-month-old Miłoszek Małysa, who had a serious heart defect and needed surgery, and she decided to auction off her lone Olympic medal to help raise money for his surgery.
That was last week, and the auction is now over. Read how it turned out at ESPN. -via Nag on the Lake
