About Amy

Amy Miller is a 17-year-old senior at Delone Catholic High School who loves motorcycles, fishing, canoeing, cheerleading, painting and hanging out with friends. She is a member of the varsity football cheerleading squad at her high school and is also a member of the Omni Club. In addition, she maintains a part-time job at Battlefield Harley-Davidson as a motor clothes associate.

Amy loves animals and has four cats and a dog; she also enjoys traveling and watching scary movies. Each summer, she looks forward to visiting her aunt, who is a private detective, and joining her in her surveillance duties. She is also close to her older brother, Al, who is a Private First Class in the United States Marine Corps.

Amy also has Cystic Fibrosis. This has forced her to limit some of her physical activities and has affected her endurance, but it has not dampened her spirits. Amy says most of the time she doesn't even remember she has the disease. In fact, during a recent trip to the hospital, she focused her time on other hospitalized children, instead of herself, drawing pictures for them to brighten their spirits. She also taught the play therapist how to make various crafts.

She is a strong-willed and determined young lady who is always thinking of others, and her outlook for the future is very positive. As she recently told her classmates in a note, you must “live with what life gives you and go on.”
This event is being held in her honor because of her love of motorcycle riding and her desire to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. Amy learned to love motorcycles riding on the back of her dad's Harley beginning at age eight. She plans on attending technology school to learn how to design choppers.

For Amy and approximately 30,000 other children and adults affected by the disease, Cystic Fibrosis is a condition that clogs their airways, leading to chronic, sometimes fatal, lung infections. There is currently no cure for this disease, so we are holding this event to raise money for research. All the money raised from this event will benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Like Amy, we are not letting the reality of this disease shake our will, so we have created this fundraising event to be a celebration of food, family, and fun! Please join us in our efforts to make CF stand for Cure Found.

Amy and approximately 30,000 other children and adults live with Cystic Fibrosis. Help us find a cure!
