Athlete and Friend Kim Miller was a member of the Hamden Heronettes Synchronized Swim Team. She was a dedicated teammate and role model. In 2001, Kim was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer. She underwent chemotherapy and surgery to replace part of her femur with a titanium rod. Kim continued swimming and competed in the 2002 ESynchro Age Group Championships in Federal Way, Washington, only 6 months after her surgery. She went on to swim on the collegiate level at Millersville College in Pennsylvania. In the midst of her freshman year, the cancer returned. In May of 2005, at the age of 19, Kim lost her long battle with bone cancer. The Kim Miller Synchronized Swimming Scholarship fund was established by Krista Bessinger and Teena Marie Griggs to keep Kim's memory alive and, at the same time, help support the continuing career of a synchronized swimmer in the East Zone on a collegiate level.
