Growing Oshkosh, Inc. hasn't added a story.
Hello friends, colleagues and loved ones of Dr. Michael Milam:
As you know, we lost a great friend, father, husband, doctor and community member in Mike Milam just a short time ago from cancer.
Mike worked his entire life to battle cancer--not his own, mind you--but other people's, in an effort to make life better, and more hopeful, for thousands of women, which is why his death was even sadder for those who knew and loved him the most.
Today, in order to honor his memory, and celebrate his life in Oshkosh, we're announcing a fundraising campaign to place a memorial bench and plaque at either Menominee Park, or the new "mini-park" directly across the street from where the Milams lived on Hazel St, overlooking Lake Winnebago.
Our goal is $2000, but I bet we surpass that quickly! Any leftover funds will be used to create a unique "healing garden" in Mike's memory somewhere in Oshkosh (near the bench, if possible, or at Oshkosh North, or perhaps at the Wachtel Cancer Center or Growing Oshkosh's educational urban farm.)
Regardless of where the bench and gardens go, his memory will live on in Oshkosh, and I invite you to honor and celebrate Mike's life by giving to this very special campaign.
Thank you!
"The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit." Nelson Henderson
