CBSN
Just weeks after winning a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics, javelin thrower Maria Andrejczyk sold her medal for $125,000 to help a family from her native Poland pay for their infant's heart surgery.
Last week, Andrejczyk wrote on Facebook that she learned about Miłoszek Małysa, an 8-month-old who has a "serious heart defect" and needs surgery. She said the parents of a child who "didn't make it in time" passed on donations to Małysa. "That's how I also want to help," Andrejczyk wrote. "He's the one I'm auctioning off my silver medal of the Olympic Games."
