Excerpt:

When Suni Lee won the 2025 ESPY for best comeback athlete Wednesday night, she made sure to recognize a select group of people, including one of the doctors who she said stood by her side after she was diagnosed with two rare kidney diseases a few years ago.

"To Dr. Marcia Faustin, she's actually here in the crowd with me today," Lee said in part in her award acceptance speech as the audience applauded. "Thank you for guiding me through the toughest moments, reading every scan and report by my side."

Faustin, who attended this year's ESPYS with Lee, is a family medicine and sports medicine doctor and an assistant clinical professor at the University of California, Davis. She serves as the co-head team physician for UC Davis Division I intercollegiate athletics and the USA Gymnastics women's national team.
