Have you ever seen the new game show on ABC, "Bet On Your Baby"? This fun show, hosted by Melissa Peterman, will air 8 episodes between May 31-July 19 and features toddlers ages 2-5 competing against themselves in a series of tasks/activities. (And let me tell you, watching these kids is sure to bring a smile to your face, as well as elicit some full-blown belly-laughs!) 

Now what happens to their earnings? Well obviously, such young children have no immediate need for all that cash. Obviously, they won't be heading to Vegas to play the slots any time soon. That's okay, though. All winnings will go into a college fund for the child! 
Luvs has partnered with "Bet On Your Baby" and the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, and they're doing something pretty amazing. For every use of the hashtag, #LuvsBOYB, Luvs will donate a diaper to the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. (Up to 10,000 diapers.) Now that's a lot of diapers going to children in need.

The Children's Miracle Network Hospitals episode (airing June 14th) is going to feature Josh Miller and his parents Laura & Michael. Josh is 5 and was born without tibiae in his legs.  He has prosthetic legs and has already had multiple surgeries in his young life, including heart surgery.  He has done appearances and interviews for Children’s Hospital LA.

Here's an excerpt from a local news story about Josh:
Keeping up with Joshua Miller isn't easy, neither is keeping him down. Like the little engine that could, Josh never ever backs down from a challenge. It's hard to imagine this strong little boy was at one time so fragile. His mom Laura was told during pregnancy Josh would be different. His condition: "Werner's Mesomaliac Dysplasia With Hirshprungs.  It's quite a mouthful," Laura tells me.

 Josh was born with multiple challenges inside and out. His most obvious difference: no tibias.  There was no bone connecting his knees to his feet, and he didn't pop out with 10 fingers and toes. "Our son actually had 26 digits all together because he had 7 digits on each foot and 6 digits on each hand," Laura explains.

"I've almost been through 8 surgeries. One was very difficult, Uhm heart surgery.  I almost died, but i lived through it." Josh remembers.

At Children's Hospital Los Angeles  Cardiologist Jackie Szmuszkovicz explains Josh was born with a defect that blocked blood flow, between his lungs and his heart.  Now that he's recovered from open heart surgery, she marvels at how active he is today, "To me that's the most important sign that his heart is doing well.

Laura still remembers living with the fear of all that could go wrong. Why didn't it? "He hasn't learned to feel sorry for himself. Hasn't learned to be downtrodden," she says.

On the contrary, Josh sees himself as a role model. He's already competed in 3 triathalons to raise money for the Challenged Athlete Foundation., and he often meets with new amputees to showing them  all that he's learned to do.

You can reach out to Josh on his Facebook page if you'd like to cheer him on!
