NBA champion and Mitchell native Mike Miller stopped by the Castle last Friday morning and paid a visit to Tanna Kingsbury, who is just finishing up her sixth round of chemotherapy in her battle against bone cancer.
Miller was in Sioux Falls taking part in a Children’s Miracle Network fundraiser, “Night of Hope.”
Tanna was diagnosed this past spring with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a very rare form of bone cancer affecting mainly adolescents. Tanna has been doctoring at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. and Sanford’s Children’s Hospital, or “the Castle”, in Sioux Falls. After finishing up round six of chemo this week, surgery is expected to be scheduled to remove the tumor.
Miller is just coming off of his second straight NBA title with the Miami Heat. Miller is a 1998 graduate from Mitchell High School and was a fifth round pick in the 2000 NBA draft by the Orlando Magic.
