Millie Elliott, a beacon of hope and leadership on and off the field, has been nominated for the prestigious Veronica White Medal in recognition of her extraordinary community work.
This esteemed award, presented by the NRL and sponsored by Westpac, honours an NRLW player each season who has made significant contributions to the community.
Elliott, who embodies the spirit of giving back, is the epitome of dedication and inclusion. Alongside her rigorous playing schedule, she supports various charitable causes including the Mark Hughes Foundation and as a Gotcha4Life Ambassador. She also serves as a Director of the Trainer Group Foundation, where she tirelessly works and advocates for Australians living with disabilities and their families.
Her commitment goes beyond the game. In March, she embarked on the challenging Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea, raising an impressive $411,000 for the Mark Hughes Foundation and brain cancer research.
