Caitlin Clark And Kate Make WISH Come TRUE For Young Cancer-Stricken Fan Bailey Lux

Former Iowa teammates Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin get together with Make A Wish Foundation to give a young fan, Bailey Lux, the wish she needed. Let's talk about it.

Kate and C.C. total class all the way unlike many others in the league.

[@joshualroose6197]

That's something the University of Iowa is known for. Getting the student athlete's involved with the kids at the children's hospital! Like w/ the football team, you see the Kinnick wave to the children's hospital! Caitlin never brags about herself, she always puts others first!

[@npcfigureathletedawnirish691]

Don't EVER hesitate to make a positive video! We all need more of that, so thank you!

[@nathanthompson3401]

“Don’t meet your heroes for you may be disappointed”. That’s not the case with Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin. In other parts of life, meeting your heroes puts greater responsibility on you to not disappoint them. Chose your heroes carefully, too often it isn’t a hero but only a flawed celebrity.

[@varj7]

Bailey Lux we love you and have you in our prayers. Thank you Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin, and Megan, and the Fever Team.

[@kathleenhunt3677]

Kate and Caitlin, kudos to the both of you for keeping in contact with Bailey💙 This is such an Iowa thing and unless you lived it, you’ll never quite understand. This is why we love our girls💙 Praying for you Bailey!!

Thank you for this video. It's important for everyone to remember that athletes are not robots going through the motions of playing their sport - they are human beings whose humanity should be acknowledged. The University of Iowa athletic program requires its student athletes to contribute to the community, and outreach to children at the children's hospital is a big part of that. You can see the outcome of that outreach in this incident - not only did Kate and Caitlin build a relationship with Bailey a couple of years ago, but they stayed in touch with her over time. I think Kate Martin was the one who worked directly with Make a Wish to bring Bailey and her family to Vegas, but both Caitlin and Kate did their part to bring joy into Bailey's young life once she got there.

[@npcfigureathletedawnirish691]

Yes, Kate is great!

[@Daurio4747]

@@JE-IC , thank you so much for sharing this. The University of Iowa has a great program.

[@dukelombardi4565]

They gave her a locker and a guest for Iowa 2023 senior day. She got a double wish.

[@ChicksDigScarsPodcast]

Very cool!

[@Daurio4747]

This was such a a beautiful expression. I love how Kate and CC spent time with this young girl. God bless Bailey. She is a real hero in my eyes. Praying for Bailey. I'm so sorry about the lose of your sister. Father in heaven, please watch over all that have cancer, and other health problems. In Christ Jesus name. Amen! 🙏

[@ChicksDigScarsPodcast]

Well said! And thanks!

[@ragethesystem-zl2tv]

Oh man, that’s a tear jerker for sure.

[@mattgoldberg4335]

Kudos to Cait and Kate and their coaches and teammates, and God bless Bailey and her family.

[@alanarifuku3500]

That is the reason the public loves Caitlyn. Of course I don’t know her but she is a great person and kudos to Kate Martin and Gustafson

This is Iowa sports, Iowa athletes, and Iowa culture. For all of the people who've been caught up by a Bully Club and the Institutionalized Abuse of the WNBA, you've come up against something that is much much bigger than you can imagine. What you see is the public expression of an entire culture that is behind Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin and all athletes of high integrity. Bigger visions are in mind and these include the charitable outreach that someone such as Caitlin, or Kate, would never advertise, but it's time that people understand. This charitable focus is only a part of a value system that has bound foundational not only to Iowans but our entire nation. Charity and community spirit are cornerstones to this, there is also a focus on championing good sportsmanship - so women don't have to suffer abuse on the public stage and basketball, and finally so little girls and boys don't have to see bullies being allowed to abuse women. This is what the bullies and their supporters never accounted for, Iowans, and the people who share the same values, do not back down for bullies. This is not because of any desire to fight, but because there is so much more to fight for. We are witnessing the forward edge of a cultural war and a spiritual war, and young women are the Nexus of this. There are those who would seek to hold power through bullying and abuse, and they are able to do so when they operate in the shadows. Sometimes somebody comes up, and through their own excellence they break the power hold of the bullies by bringing a light into the shadows. You will know obsession occurrence because there will be a great outcry from the bullies and those who mob in behind them. Take confidence that this, the acceleration of the bullying and the mobs' yelling behind them, means the battle is being waged in the right direction, and in this case towards a public stage where abuse of women has been allowed as a public demonstration. This is much bigger than Caitlin Clark. So many women have been caught in the shadows in previous decades, bullied, injured, run out - afraid to make the Call to come forward, because they felt no one would be behind them. Also, so many young girls and boys are watching now, just as the young girl in Chicago who decried seeing Caitlin Clark get hurt. This girl was so young that she was still getting her handle on pronouncing "Ls", however she can recognize right from wrong. So can we, and now it is very important that we let our collective strength be known, so all of the women know that they are supported, and the bullies have no choice but to take a knee or to see themselves out the door.

[@kyleelsbernd7566]

An Ambassador to this sport and can bring a positive change to the WMBA. In the last two games there seems to be a more warming welcome from opposing team veterans.

[@anniegarrett3242]

Thank you for sharing this. I'm sure they will all always remember this moment. And it was personal for you too. I'm praying for you in your loss.

[@ChicksDigScarsPodcast]

[@rondafun1]

All Hawkeyes support the children’s hospital in Iowa city. Don’t forget our children’s hospital overlooks the football stadium. Our athletes are amazing to those kids.

[@jonathonpalbicke6122]

What is wrong with my brain? Dude don’t even get me started. 🤣🤣🤣 But seriously, very nice video, should make all of us want to take a moment, say a prayer for this little girl, and appreciate what Make a Wish did, as well of course, Kate Martin, Caitlin Clark, and all others involved, that is all……… JP

[@RRHSKnightVision]

Condolences on the loss of your sister. This is a powerful story of the character and love these young women have in abundance. Kudos to both the Fever and the Aces for helping to make this kid's dream come true.

[@ChicksDigScarsPodcast]

Thank you. I appreciate that.

[@eaunan]

Excellent. Thank you for covering this story with great commentary. Very touching.

[@brianroesch3259]

Wow, this is cool. Fever 15. Go Bailey, go Caitlin and Kate! And, your message in this video is very well stated and appreciated. Looking at Caitlin & what she stands for.

[@kidlat1969]

I can't believe someone is cutting onions at 5:45 AM in my house.

[@josiez.9359]

Thank you for posting this video! It made my heart warm!! ❤️ ...and makes me love & admire Caitlin Clark so much more!! She's incredible! Thank you again for this sweet story.

[@katoboxer]

My prayers for peace to you and your family on the loss of your sister.

[@ChicksDigScarsPodcast]

Thank you! I appreciate it.

[@SPAMusubiHalau]

Sadly, there will be people who will see the negativity in this - just as they see the negativity in everything. They lack perspective - an inability to see outside themselves. Sadder still, if they could do that for a moment, they'd realize how beautiful moments like these are. Without saying names, what are other players, especially players in this rookie class - doing to better communities besides using a platform to incite hate through meaningless words? This is what it's all about. If anyone recalls that statement, "Everyone has a platform...silence is a luxury..." - THIS is one issue CC uses her platform for. To remind all of us through ACTION - that LIVING is a luxury.

[@jeffreydevries2903]

Thanks for the video! It’s nice to see something other than the W reality show.

[@terrymesich9885]

If there was more of that , the wnba would have millions of fans

[@katoboxer]

How incredibly compassionate ❤❤❤. Class personified by CC and KM. GREAT STORY and thank you for sharing.

[@MarilynImparato]

So sorry for the loss of your Sister...❤

[@ChicksDigScarsPodcast]

Thank you. I appreciate that.

47-year-old man here. Crying.

[@ChicksDigScarsPodcast]

Tough one, right?

[@lawrence97431]

Tragic, yet really beautiful. Your sister (so sorry), Bailey, Gilda Radner, Laurie Beechman, and so many other beautiful souls.

[@mattress2331]

That was Awesome

[@alipotter0613]

Doing things like this really puts what you define as 'problems' in perspective. I know Clarke keeps that in mind when all this superficial noise is around her. And when you think life is hard........ is it really?

[@samanthananda4276]

I hope all my desires & hopes always come true. It would mean the absolute world to me
