Polish Olympian Auctions Silver Medal to Raise Money for Boy's Heart Surgery

Polish javelin thrower Maria Andrejczyk has auctioned off her first Olympic medal to help raise money for a little boy's heart surgery.

Days after winning a silver medal at the Tokyo Summer Games, the 25-year-old announced on Facebook that her goal was to raise $190,000 for Polish child Miloszek Małysa, 8 months, to go to the United States for life-saving surgery. Polish convenience store chain Zabka won the auction and contributed more than her goal. Zabka tweeted that they actually want Andrejczyk to hold onto her medal.
