Lily Born is an 11-year-old girl from Chicago, America. When most 11-year-olds are watching Hunger Games, Lily is busy designing(设计) a special cup to help people with Parkinson’s disease(帕金森病).

Your parents and teachers ca n help you with a lot of things. Most of the time they are happy to help you if it’s not anything really expensive.”
