Chris Miller Benefit to be Held in New Madison

The New Madison United Methodist Church is sponsoring a benefit for Chris Miller, son of Ted and Melanie (Bruner) Miller, grandson of Judy Miller and Mike and Robin Bruner on Saturday, September 6 from 4:30-7:00. A traditional cookout with hamburgers, hot dogs, side dishes and dessert will be offered along with family fun consisting of volleyball, corn hole, face painting and pony rides. This is a donation only event with the proceeds going to help fund Chris’ daily needs.

Chris is 1 ½ and had the rare disease known as Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome or CFC. There is no known cure. CFC is very rare and is thought to occur in approximately 1 in 810,000 births. Currently, less than 500 individuals worldwide are diagnosed with the disease. Despite his many complex challenges, Chris is a happy little boy. In the last few months, he has gotten glasses and a wheelchair, which have helped him tremendously. Chris has found his sweet smile again, and is currently working on reaching for objects, controlling his head, and trying to sit.

Please join us in support of Chris and his family. For more information, you may contact the church at 937-996-5341.
