Meet Miller
Three-year-old Miller is cheeky and driven, despite living with an undiagnosable genetic condition.
He was an engaging and social baby who loved attention, but his parents Natasha and Cameron knew something wasn’t quite right. Miller has two older brothers, Wilbur and Victor, who both developed at a normal rate.
By nine months old Miller hadn’t started to roll over, so he began intensive mobility therapy.
The search for answers
At 18 months old, Miller underwent genetic testing and was diagnosed with global development delay, hypotonia and dyskinetic movement disorder. But there was one diagnosis that was inconclusive.
He has an abnormal Spermatogenesis Associated 5 gene that is linked to life-long conditions including Neurodevelopmental Disorder with Hearing Loss and seizures.
Because the gene is of an unknown variance, his doctors are unable to make a definitive diagnosis.
Marching forward, despite the odds
Now three, Miller undergoes intensive therapy, often three hours a day for weeks at a time. The long-term goal is to improve his mobility, but it’s a long road ahead.
Miller loves any therapy that involves walking but the frame provided by the NDIS wasn’t designed for outdoor use. Outside, the wheels would seize and put him in danger of toppling on grass and uneven surfaces.
During physical therapy one day Miller tried using a Race Runner - a frame that can be used outdoors on a range of surfaces. The more Miller used it, the more progress he made in his gait and mobility. His parents were determined to buy him one.
He is unstoppable!
But Race Runners are a $5,500 investment, which is significant for any family and the NDIS would not provide this vital piece of equipment. So Miller’s parents applied for funding through Variety, hoping Miller’s wish could come true.
Since being gifted his very own Race Runner, Miller’s life has changed completely. He is unstoppable!
“Getting the Race Runner frame was absolutely life-changing for Miller. For the first time since he was born, he was able to play and keep up with his brothers.”
Natasha, Miller’s mum.
