The awesome bloggers and new friends over at Shh Moms Reading participated in my Autism Awareness Giveaway in April. If you’re ever personally touched by a cause, you become a passionate voice for others affected. One of the Shh Moms, Denise, knows all about that. Her brother Keith Milano suffered from mental illness, and she has become a committed advocate for those living with mental illness and needing help. Please read below for more information on the organization established to keep his spirit alive and to help others, including a list of authors who are participating in a fundraiser benefiting this worthy cause. A percentage of proceeds from the sales from May 1st – May 31st of these books will be donated to the Keith Milano Fund! Please read and support!
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. www.keithmilano.org
The Keith Milano Memorial Fund benefits the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). www.afsp.org
