“It saved my life,” Miller said. “It changed me. I am better off now.”

A Millersburg, Ohio resident, Miller grew up Amish, and left the lifestyle after seeing the modern conveniences for disabled people. For Miller, coming to the World Dwarf Games and still being able to compete in a wheelchair has been a great opportunity.

Miller competed in the shooting and archery competitions.

“Being able to compete with somebody my size makes the playing field even,” Miller said. “It’s very enjoyable. You get to meet new friends. Everyone is so eager to help each other. I’m just thankful they have these events.”
