Meet, Avery, the sweetest freshman that you can imagine from Fort Collins, Colorado. The girliest of girly girls, Avery loves shopping and getting her nails done almost as much as she loves the Denver Nuggets and the sport of basketball.
At the young age of 8 years old, Avery unfortunately had to stop playing basketball and other sports as she began her battle with her life altering condition.
What spiraled as quickly as it started, Avery had to be hospitalized and went through various courses of treatment to overcome countless medical complications such as fragile bones and heart complications.
Avery is now in a great place and has a refreshed outlook and a strong support system of friends and family around her. Avery is now enjoying her first year of high school where she loves going to Friday night football games with her friends. Avery is on a mission to continue her path to wellness and hopes to be able to get off the sidelines and back on a basketball court soon!
Avery finds inspiration from the Nuggets players just as much as we are inspired by her grit, determination, and always-smiling resilient- self!
