Lily Born is a young girl that had a grandfather that struggled with Parkinson’s disease. He would often struggle keeping drinks still, and as a result there would be a ton of spills. Even at the young age of 8 years old she realized how much of an issue that was. She sought out to find a solution to this pain. Lily came up with the idea of a 3-legged cup that will not tip called the Kangaroo Cup. After prototyping with clay, she came up with a tripod cup design that would prevent spills from the user. At the age of 16 years old she has sold over hundreds of thousands of cups and made an impact around the world. At her age it is remarkable to have problem solving skills that would solve the pains of coping with a heartbreaking disease and more.

It’s amazing how at even such a young age lily realized there was a problem and wanted to create a solution for it. Also, I have seen kangaroo cups and always assumed they were made specifically for kids. I didn’t realize they were originally designed for those struggling with Parkinson’s disease.
