PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep the jhd award in honor of kelly miller! Every year it is not awarded begins to feel like even the HDSA has abandoned our kids and there are many families and young people doing wonderful things in support of this battle and many children who need to know that their lives matter ...

Apparently Kelly Miller's name was NOT taken off the award. The award was not given out this year. I stand corrected.

Bring this award back! Why was it discontinued? After ALL the work Jean Miller did to establish the NYA along with Susie Hodgson, it's a shame Kelly Miller's name was taken off the award.

I agree with a comment above, " If the committee didn't feel like they had enough info on a nominee, they should have taken it upon themselves to learn more about that child! Sounds to me like someone took the lazy way out or didn't like who was nominated!" These kids are often disabled at a young age, unable to participate in sports or activities where trophies are awarded, this is something that they look forward to, and for one brief moment, makes them feel like a "normal" kid. HDSA needs to start recognizing JHD more, and the families more. I want to see HDSA contribute to JHD studies and research! Maybe it is time for a new leadership team?!

Why would they stop something so important. Boggles my mind. This should be awarded every year without any hesitation!!

I live in Canada, but I will support JHD until the last breath I take, This is very important that we recognize this horrible disease and do everything we can to find a cure. My daughter also suffers from this horrible disease labelled as the worst disease known to mankind.
