Get Erica to Miller Syndrome Conference in Boston

$2,666 of $10,000 goal
Given by 41 generous donors in around 9 months

Help get Erica to the Miller Syndrome conference in Boston to encourage and inspire young people living with her condition.

Nationwide

There is a fantastic woman living in our community who is a little bit different to you and me... Erica has Miller Syndrome!

Does this stop her or even slow her down? NO!

Erica was born with Miller Syndrome which affects her limbs and facial features, but she is out there living her life to the fullest.

She gets the greatest joy from inspiring and encouraging children in our community, including those with special needs. She is the ideal role model for our young ones.

Erica's top priority for next year is to attend the Nager and Miller Syndrome Conference in Boston to be a guest speaker and workshop facilitator. A perfect way for her to connect with children living with her condition.

We are raising money to help pay for Erica's flights and accommodation for the conference. If we are lucky enough to get a little extra, Erica would love to go the extra mile and meet with a few children that are unable to attend the conference in Australia and England.

Attitude tv ran a story on Erica. Please watch below: (warning - prepare to be inspired!)
