As an infant, Quincy was diagnosed with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a malfunction of the adrenal glands, which left her with a lack of the hormone cortisol. No cure is available, but her condition can be managed with hormone treatment three times per day.
As a six year old, she is "one of the best 6-year-old surfers in the world", with her own sponsorship contract.
