Karly is a Level 10 gymnast who’s been battling Ankylosing Spondylitis, a painful autoimmune disease that attacks the spine and joints. After years of symptoms and several surgeries, she was finally diagnosed in December 2024.
Now, there’s hope — Karly has been accepted into a stem cell treatment program in New Jersey this December that offers promising results for a cure. Unfortunately, the $30,000 cost of treatment and travel isn’t covered by insurance, and this disease receives very limited funding.
Karly continues to fight every day to train and compete at the highest level. Please help her take this next step toward healing and reclaiming her future — every donation and share makes a difference.
