CHARITY WORK
After she won bronze at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, she announced that she would auction the medal to raise funds for the medical treatment of a neighbour's daughter, who had cystic fibrosis. Her medal was bought by Polish businessman Jan Kulczyk and then returned to her. She is also the joint founder of the Hey Przygodo Foundation, which is based in Warsaw, Poland, and aims to help children from orphanages who are gifted musicians and athletes. She set up the charity with Polish hip-hop artist Rafal Poniedzielski. "He takes care of the musical side, while I take care of the sports. We hope to prevent delinquency among children."
