Did you know over 17 years ago I promised he would not go quietly?

Did you know I had no idea what that meant or that I had no idea how to make that happen?

Did you know I shared our pain with the hope that at least one other family would be spared?

Did you know I share my brother died by suicide because I want you to share your truth?

Though I miss my brother everyday..

Though I wish Keith were here to see the strides made in the past decade

People knowing his name, his name being part of a mission means something...

Thank you for helping me keep my promise…………….

Thank you for helping to keep Keith's spirit alive as we change the conversation around mental health.

Since Keith's passing, we have witnessed more people speaking out but the events of the past years have highlighted the need for more… more research, more support, and more resources.

And so much of this requires funds… so please support the authors taking part in this event and join us in making a difference!

We continue to share his story and hope you will join us in making mental health a priority.

Our family is grateful for the support

With Deepest Gratitude,

Denise Milano Sprung

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 are 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.
