Please read this in Mavericks own words:

My name is Maverick Callaway and my mother is an

American Legion Auxillary member of Post 134.

I am 15 years old and I love to snowboard, play

baseball, and go camping. I don’t do those things

anymore because I have a heart condition called

Endocarditis, which means I have bacteria growing

in my heart. It has attached to my heart valves

so now they don’t work very well. I am not

allowed to do anything that will accelerate my

heart, and risk stroke or a piece of bacteria

breaking off in the blood and traveling to

another organ, shutting it down. I can’t go to

school, or go out in public and risk catching

a secondary infection.

Many Doctor’s have been working since the

beginning of August to control the vegetation

growing in my heart. I am going to have surgery

to replace my valves and try to remove the

attached bacteria destroying my heart.
