Mandy White is a “new friend” of mine since Miller’s journey began. She heard of our story through some mutual friends, and really took an interest in our little man. We became friends on Facebook and she follows our blog, keeping up with Miller every step of the way. She has felt a calling to do something to help from the very beginning, and just didn’t know what she could do that would make a significant impact. Well, she contacted me a few weeks ago with a fundraising idea to do with her school. We were immediately on board and so excited to have these young children and their families help raise money and spread the word about SMA. THANK YOU, Mrs. White, for taking an interest in our story and being passionate about our cause!
Mrs. White’s third grade class is working on a community project to raise money for The Miller McNeil Woodruff Foundation. We would like to invite you to also participate in “Coins That Count”. Monies collected will help with the cost of research and to help patients and their families that suffer from Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).

How can you join us in this effort?
Collect coins! “Coins That Count” will begin Tuesday, January 17, and run through January 27.
Here’s the challenge!
Help us make Lakeside Intermediate a significant contributor to this great cause. We will provide the winning class in each grade level a VERY SPECIAL snack time. How does cupcakes, nachos, or popcorn sound? Your class gets to choose their snack of choice and everyone will receive an “I’m with Miller” wrist- band.
Go Above and Beyond for this great cause!
Any class that collects $500 or more will receive a celebration pizza party!
