Like many 12-year-old girls, McKenzie Carey loves to dance. And though McKenzie has a rare genetic disease that keeps her in a wheelchair, she has a devoted dance partner in her father, who's waltzed her through many local pageants.

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 the body of energy and damages cells in the heart, liver, skeletal muscles, respiratory systems and brain.

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 the world,' 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 and show people that she can accomplish anything with a little bit of help,' her mother, Tammy Carey, added. 'I just want the judges to look 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。”
