Скачать или смотреть Maya's Story - 2011 Patient Champion

Nine-year-old Maya of Austin, Texas, has not let a condition affecting both of her hips, known as Legg-Calve-Perthes, slow her down. Maya became a patient at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children (TSRHC) in April 2009. After Maya developed a limp and complained of severe pain in her hips, she was referred to TSRHC. Perthes is a childhood hip disorder where the ball of the thighbone in the hip doesn't get enough blood, causing the bone to deteriorate. For Maya, it was so severe in one hip that it caused her leg to be an inch and a half shorter than the other. In December 2010, physicians at TSRHC decided to operate. Today, after her recovery from surgery, Maya is the starting goalkeeper on her soccer team, the aptly-named Tenacious Tigers. "A normal, happy little girl," as her mom puts it, "Maya has adapted well thanks to the care she has received at TSRHC."

Since 1997, Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children has been the primary beneficiary of the MetroPCS Dallas White Rock Marathon and has received more than $2.8 million in donations from the marathon. In March of 2012, the Dallas White Rock Marathon made a $1 million donation to the hospital from proceeds of the 2011 race!
