Maddy Buckley and the Code

Maddy Buckley is an All American soccer player and a member of the Division III 2013 National Champion William Smith team. But more important to Maddy is the B+ she has written on the back of her hand every day since high school. It reminds her of a young man who died from leukemia and whose blood type was B Positive. She has written that to help her to remember to “be positive” every day, and to look for opportunities to make a difference. She has raised thousands for the Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation, spearheaded her team Impact program (that partners young people with life threatening illnesses with teams), and led in numerous other community efforts.   The Code says “I will give of my time, skills and money as I am able for the betterment of my community and world.” What is one way you would like to make your community or world better? Is it something that you can encourage your team to join in with you?
