Carson's Donnelly Earns National Praise
Sage Donnelly doesn't mind overcoming the odds. She's actually proven to be quite good at it.
At 14 years old, Donnelly is much younger than most of her competitors. She's also likely the only one dealing with type 1 diabetes and celiac and thyroid disease. But none of that stopped her from winning the 2014 Female Paddler of the Year Award, presented by Canoe and Kayak magazine.
