While most preteens spend their free time playing video games, 12-year-old McKenna Miller, of Renfrew, has spent much of her time during the last three years raising money for the Wounded Warrior Project.
McKenna, a student of the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School, started saving money for the Wounded Warrior Project because she felt that America’s veterans did not receive the financial and physical help they deserve.
“She didn't like how they sacrificed their lives, and she felt they don't get enough appreciation and help,” said McKenna’s mother, Natalie.
