About Me

Supporting Cystic Fibrosis has become my greatest passion. My daughter, Milan, was diagnosed at the age to 3 1/2. Being African American, it was a diagnosis, her doctors were not expecting.As a result, I have learned that around the United States, African American families are being told that it is not possible to get it. I am here to tell you that CF is not a "whites only" disease and previously assumed.Our goal is to raise awareness as well as funds to help families with the high cost of living with the disease.For more details on our projects and ways to help us raise awareness and funds for families and our new research programs we are developing, go to www.milanfoundation.org.On our site you will also find links to Amazon.com and our Cafe Press store. Purchases from both links will go a long way to supporting our cause as well as getting your purple Cure Cystic Fibrosis wristbands from our website.We are also looking for supporters to help us create fundraisers. If you have any ideas or resources, I would love to hear from you. Heck, even if you don't, I still want to hear from you.This is Janelle Bringing Sexy Back - .. width="425" height="350" ..
