Earlier, Miller was a guidance counselor at Broadway High School and had read an article about local artist Ken Schuler, donating a kidney. Then about ten years ago, Miller was reading an article in Sports Illustrated about basketball player Alonzo Mourning needing a kidney and the writer mentioned all the people that had come forward to offer to donate a kidney to the NBA star.
