Fund Information:
The Keith Milano Memorial Fund was established to help raise awareness about the devastating and deadly disease that is mental illness. Keith’s spirit and laughter is kept alive through our efforts to increase awareness about mental illness and to raise money for education and imperative research. Keith often struggled with society’s perception of mental illness. Our hope is that by having the strength to say that Keith was “Bipolar” we can strip away the stigma and help others to be more open about their disease.
If you want to know more about Keith or why Denise does what she does, here is short video/interview that speaks to that! https://vimeo.com/
Be on the lookout as she will also be posting her #ShareYourWhy this month.

This is a brilliant cause! As the child of a bi-polar and at-times suicidal mother, I would love to be involved in helping fundraise. Is there a signup for next years event or any way to submit an EOI? I have subscribe to your blog already.
