Billy Miller's got a bull's-eye view on helping one very special girl. Miller joined General Hospital in 2014 after enjoying runs on All My Children and The Young and the Restless.
Instead of basking in his own post-Emmy nomination glory, General Hospital's Billy Miller (Jason Morgan/Jake Doe; ex-Billy Abbott, The Young and the Restless) is hoping to shine a light on someone else, instead: his young niece, Savannah Strain.
The actor has put together a GoFundMe campaign in support of Savannah, a member of the Benton Louisiana Tigers Archery Team, which just made the National Archery School Program National Competition. The thing that makes the young girl's accomplishment even more inspirational is that she was born without a left hand due to a congenital abnormality.
When Savannah first expressed an interest in archery, Miller says he and his family were "worried that she would be disappointed that she could not effectively use a bow and arrow." As it turned out, however, she proved everyone wrong. "Not only did Savannah overcome her perceived physical limitation, but she quickly excelled in the sport by using her own flair and ingenuity," the proud uncle writes on the site, which aims to raise $15,000 to help the team participate in the competition. "My goal here is not only to fund this team, but to help Savannah realize just how special she truly is."
