Meningitis Angels was
founded in memory of Ryan Wayne Milley, only child of Bob and
Frankie Milley. Ryan died at the age of 18 from meningococcal
meningitis. Today it is one of the largest meningitis
organizations in the world. Ryan did not live in a college dorm.
Meningitis does not stop at the dorm room door. ACIP/CDC
recommends all tweeds and teens from ages 11-18 be vaccinated
against meningitis. Educate yourself. |
