RUSSELL NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT AND HELP
Russell Mill’s life was thrown into upheaval when he was diagnosed with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and emphysema about 10 years ago. During this time he has lived with his diseases under the care and direction of his doctors. Unfortunately, about a year ago, his condition worsened so rapidly that he has been placed on a waiting list for a lung transplant at Duke Medicine in Durham, NC. Most recently, he has been diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension in addition to the other medical issues he faces.
No matter what his diagnosis, Russell remains in good spirits and is up for any challenges that may come his way. He does have a host of family and friends that include his mother, two sisters, three brothers, and his nieces and nephews. They all are very concerned and willing to help. Their love and support is appreciated more than words can express, but they can only do so much. He has 7 grandchildren and 2 step-daughters and has had a productive, rewarding life helping the homeless, people in need and counseling those with substance abuse issues. Russell would love nothing more than to get back to a healthy life, be a productive member of his community again and have many more years with those he loves so dearly.
