Frankie and Bob Milley lost their only child Ryan Wayne Milley, to Meningococcemia/Meningococcal Meningitis on June 22, 1998. Bob and Frankie have been married for 35 years. Frankie says he is the "Wind beneath her Wings and God is her pilot." She is a strong advocate for immunizations and childrens' health. She helped to write a law, SB31, in Texas which states that all school age children and their parents should be educated on these issues and has testified on many immunization and meningitis issues including a law passed in Texas in 2005 which requires children to be fully immunized for day care entry- including Hepatitis A and Pneumococcal meningitis vaccines. She has participated on the CDC steering committee on meningitis, the Senate Advisory Board with The Texas Education Department and dissemination of materials on meningitis and the vaccines to all schools. She serves as a member of the Texas Department of Health immunization stakeholder committee. She is the world membership team leader of the confederation of Meningitis Organizations. She is a member of several immunization coalitions. She teaches effective advocacy practices and media relations two areas she has experience and great success in. Her education and career is in medical lab and EMS. She has also worked as a freelance journalist and photographer.

A note from Frankie.....

One of my favorite quotes is, "God Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." On June 22, 1998, God decided to call Ryan home. I cannot change that. I can only praise God for sharing him with us for 18 years. Read more about Ryan. What I can change is the amount of education and public awareness on not only this disease but all vaccine preventable diseases and the vaccines to prevent them. Through education we can create protection for other children, young adults and parents who would suffer from these diseases. We can change this together. Please help! Send your donations, find out what you can do. Please speak to your local health providers about the vaccines to protect your child or young adult. God bless our children.
