Sara’s Story: The 10-year-old that is inspiring CSU’s volleyball team

Sara Robinson has never been invited to a sleepover by any of her classmates. Her parents Jay and Mary Robinson wish it didn’t have to be this way, but they understand.

“I’m used to it. We’ve lived with it her whole life,” Jay said. “My daughter could have a seizure at any time, any how.”

Sara is 10 years old now. Jay and Mary adopted her at birth.

Less than two weeks she was born in 2004, Sara was diagnosed with epilepsy.

In May 2014, the Robinson family’s bad luck got even worse. An MRI revealed a brain tumor behind Sara’s left eye.
