"When You're As Good Looking As Us...Hair Is A Crutch!"  -  Garrett, 2000" The Rush Miller Foundation was formed in 2001. The foundation was inspired by Garrett Rush-Miller. At the age of 5, he developed a medulloblastoma (malignant brain tumor). The tumor left Garrett visually impaired. His parents watched their gregarious and out going son stay inside and refuse to go out and play. After reading an article about paralympic tandem cyclist, Matt King, they decided they needed to get Garrett a tandem bicycle. They were shocked a the high cost of purchasing a tandem bicycle. Through the generosity of many friends and a surprise donation from an anonymous corporation the funds were raised for Garrett's bike. The bike's impact on Garrett was immediate. It was as if a switch had been turned on and old Garrett was back. All of a sudden he was the neighborhood hit. It is the desire of the Rush Miller Foundation to identify other blind/visually impaired children who could enjoy the benefits of their first bike.               For those interested in a knowing more about the history please click here to read the rest of the story.  THE STORY BEHIND THE FOUNDATION
