Not even two weeks since winning a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics, Polish javelin thrower Maria Andrejczyk put it up for auction to help save an infant's life.
On Monday, she announced that she exceeded her fundraising goal. And she's keeping her silver medal thanks to the donor who put her over the top.
Andrejczyk announced the auction on Facebook on Aug. 11, five days after securing the silver medal in javelin. She wrote that she chose to raise funds for Miu0142oszek Mau0142ysa, an 8-month-old boy who needs to travel from Poland to Stanford University in California to have life-saving heart surgery.
