Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:24:31 GMT

Raylee Leiman is one of the top high school softball players in Broward County and the state, but what this St. Thomas Aquinas player does off the field is, in a way, more important than what she does on game day for the Raiders.“When I’m on the field, I’m always thinking about these kids,” said Leiman.Leiman has devoted her time away from softball and school to help raise money at the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, which specializes in treating pediatric cancer.“These kids became my reason to play softball,” said Leiman. “When I’m not playing well, there are kids in the hospital that want to be playing. They don’t care what the results are. So, I try to put myself, not in their shoes, but to consider what their minds might be thinking at the time. They could be on the field, but I am on the field.”Leiman’s nonprofit foundation has raised nearly $50,000. In August 2022, she donated $5,000 to the Jeff Conine C...
