When Otylia returned home from the Olympics, Otylia completed her required appearances around Poland and then made a momentous public announcement. She would auction off her Gold Medal and donate the money to a children's cancer hospital in Poland. You see, after reading the book about the boy with Leukemia, she made a promise to God. “If I win the Gold Medal” she said, “I will sell it and give the money to the children”.
The auction was held and a Poland Grocery Chain bought the Gold Medal for $80,000. Said Otylia, "I do not need to see the Gold Medal to know that I won it, for it will always reside in my heart."
The people of Poland refer to Otylia’s heart as: "Otylia's Heart of Gold."
Ecclesiasties 5:4-5 tells us: “When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. KJV
