Olympic silver medallist auctions her medal to help pay for a child’s operation

OLYMPIC silver medallist Maria Andrejczyk has auctioned her medal to help pay for a young child’s operation in America

Maria Andrejczyk is a Polish athlete who won the silver medal for her country in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics earlier this month – the first medal she has ever won in her career – but she has shown that victories and defeats in the world of sport are nothing when it comes to a person’s health, as she recently placed her silver medal up for auction to help a young child whose parents need money to pay for an operation.

Milos is a young Polish boy who is awaiting heart surgery in the United States, and his parents are trying to raise money to cover the costs of the medical operation, so Andrejczyk entered the scene with her silver medal, putting it up for auction and getting the figure of €44,000 for it.
