Meet Miller
At just three years old, Miller is unstoppable.
Even a rare and undiagnosable genetic condition hasn’t slowed him down. But his journey hasn’t been easy.
Global developmental delay, hypotonia, and dyskinetic movement disorder made getting around difficult. Regardless, Miller’s parents were determined to give him every opportunity to thrive.
But progress was slow. Through hours of intensive therapy, Miller longed for one thing: to play outside with his brothers. Unfortunately, the mobility frame insurance provided wasn’t built for outdoor use, leaving him stuck indoors. Then, during a therapy session, Miller was introduced to a Race Runner—a specialized frame that lets kids move safely on uneven terrain. For the first time, Miller could walk freely and play outside with his brothers! With every step, his mobility and gait grew stronger, and his confidence soared.
But at $5,500, a Race Runner was still out of reach. That’s when Variety stepped in. With funding and support, Miller received his very own Race Runner, and everything changed for the better.
