CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR FEATURE: MOLLY DEVINE
The CHEERFIT ambassador community is filled with leaders and motivators who all share a passion for fitness, love for cheering and drive to help inspire others.
Our ambassadors share with us their personal stories and obstacles they overcome along the way. We have an amazing community of athletes who fuel their passion and determination with the CHEERFIT lifestyle. In addition to cheerleading, many of our ambassadors are committed to having a positive impact on their community through other special causes.
This week, we meet Molly . . .an all-star cheerleader involved with the down syndrome community who loves her friends and family! She reminds us to enjoy life and to make every moment count. We are so honored to share with you our ‘Ambassador of the Week Feature’ with Molly Devine!
CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?
My name is Molly and I’m 9 years old. I have Down Syndrome and I also have congestive heart failure.
I have had many surgeries over the years from open heart surgery, tubes in my ears 4 times, tonsils and adenoids removed along with a few other procedures.
I work very hard at everything I do and I never complain or quit!
I enjoy life everyday !
– CHEERFIT Ambassador Molly Devine
ARE YOU INVOLVED IN ANY VOLUNTEER OR NONPROFIT AND HOW DO YOU MOTIVATE OTHERS?
I’m involved with the Down Syndrome Association of NWI. I love doing events and activities with all my friends. I help set up and clean up after activities. I look forward to being a great example for my whole community!
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
I started out with All-Star cheer 3 years ago, not being able to do a cart wheel or forward role! I now can do cartwheels, round one offs, forward rolls, handstands, and I’m close to having my back kick over ! Also, this year I made our half season All-Star cheer team which is a huge accomplishment for someone with a disability!
BEING AN AMBASSADOR HELPED ME. . .
. . .show people that just because I have Down Syndrome doesn’t mean I can’t do what everyone else can do!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?

I would encourage others to become an ambassador because it is a great support system !
