  和许多12岁女孩一样,麦肯齐·凯利热爱跳舞。尽管麦肯齐因身患罕见的基因疾病而无法离开轮椅,但她忠诚的舞伴——她的父亲还是带她在本地的许多舞蹈比赛上跳起华尔兹。

  McKenzie has mitochondrial disease, a debilitating condition that deprives

  麦肯齐患有线粒体疾病,这种疾病会让人丧失大量能量,并损伤心脏、肝脏、骨骼肌、呼吸系统和大脑等部位的细胞,从而使人衰弱。

  'Dancing with daddy makes her feel like she’s on top of theworld,' her father, Mike Carey, told Today.com。

  她的父亲麦克·凯利告诉Today.com:“和爸爸一起跳舞让她觉得无比幸福。”

  'Pageants give her the same opportunity as other children andshow people that she can accomplish anything with a little bit ofhelp,' her mother, Tammy Carey, added. 'I just want the judges tolook at her, not her wheelchair.'

  “舞蹈比赛给了她和其他孩子同样的机会,让她能够在人们面前展示:只要一点点帮助,她就能完成任何事。”她的母亲塔米·凯利补充道,“我只希望裁判们能看她,而不是她的轮椅。”

  Ms Carey began entering McKenzie in pageants when she was fivebut it wasn't until 2010 that her father began joining heronstage。

  凯利夫人在麦肯齐5岁的时候开始替她报名参加舞蹈比赛。2010年起,麦肯齐的父亲开始和她一起在舞台上跳舞。

  'My wife was sitting in the audience and was so stressed aboutMcKenzie, so I decided to do something a little crazy,' Mr Careytold Today.com。

  凯利先生告诉Today.com:“我太太和观众坐在一起,因为麦肯齐而非常紧张。因此我决定做件有点疯狂的事。”

  'I took McKenzie up on stage and did a wheelie with herwheelchair. Then I spun her around, picked her up and started doinga freestyle dance. The crowd went wild and gave us a standingovation!'

  “我带着麦肯齐走上舞台,用她的轮椅做了一个抬头特技(类似摩托车抬起前轮)。接着我旋转她,抱起她,跳起自由式舞蹈。观众们变得疯狂起来,为我们起立鼓掌。”

  McKenzie has competed in more than 100 pageants, and won about20. The family is currently preparing for a national pageant inNebraska。

  麦肯齐参加了100多场舞蹈比赛,赢了大约20场。凯利一家现在正在准备在内布拉斯加州举行的一场全国比赛。

  'If I get one person [inspired], it made the whole song andwhole thing worthwhile,' Mr Carey told ABCNews.com. 'It’s like anunspoken message. This dance is alike an unspoken testimony and shows bond and love between a father anddaughter.'

  “如果我能让一个人感动,那整首歌整件事就是值得的”,凯利先生告诉ABCNews.com,“这就像无声的讯息。这支舞是父女间爱与牵绊的无声宣言。”

  The Careys have set up a GoFundMe page to raise money forMcKenzie's medical treatments, and have already seen $86,000donated to the cause。

  凯利一家制做了GoFundMe网页来为麦肯齐的治疗募捐。目前已收到8万6千美元的捐赠。

  'As a mother of a special needs child, there is nothing Iwon't do to help improve my daughter's quality of life,' Ms Careywrote on the fundraising site。

  “做为一名有特殊需要的儿童的母亲,为了改善我女儿的生活质量,没有什么是我不能做的,”凯利夫人在募捐网站上写道。

  'She is such an inspiration to everyone she meets.'

  “她感动了每一个见到她的人。”
