My 8 year old daughter is a type-1 diabetic. She plays softball with the girls and baseball with the boys and can hold her own!
Thank you for generously supporting Maelie in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
She loves to push herself to be the best version of her . She is a natural athlete and loves trying new sports to push herself further.
She’s inspired by herself and the diabetic community. She loves seeing kids during sporting events wearing the same medical devices as her. It connects them and shows them they aren’t alone. She’s strong, brave, and beautiful
Watching Maelie have so many medical obstacles daily and see her go out in a game and play her heart out no matter what her day looked like prior to the game is pretty amazing
