Personal Note from Denise:
Wow... 7 years… for the 7th year people who never knew Keith have come together in his name to raise awareness about mental health.

How do you thank a community that has helped you keep your brother’s spirit alive—a community that helped you keep a promise made to him after he passed.

Thank you just seems insufficient, but I will say it. THANK YOU.

14 years ago when we lost Keith, we decided he would not go quietly, that we would fight for mental health awareness, fight to bring mental illness out of the darkness in his name.

At the time we had no idea what that would mean, where our journey would take us or that this community would embrace the cause and join us in the fight to bring mental illness out of the darkness.

Our family is so touched by how this community has embraced this cause by joined us in this fight.

Together we can continue to open a dialogue about mental health, together we can affect change.

With Deepest Gratitude,

Denise Milano Sprung

7th Annual May Mental Health Awareness Book Fundraiser

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!
