| Lolo’s Story: Diabetes Awareness for Healthy Living Testimonial |
 Lolo and Dad |
Lorraine “Lolo” Milliner a native of St.Thomas, Virgin Islands is a twenty-two year broadcast veteran. “Lolo’s” name has been synonymous with her #1 radio show, “The Quiet Fire” heard daily 7-12midnight on WWIN-FM (Magic 95.9) – a position she has held for ten years. Her soothing, gentle, sultry voice dominates the market for the #1 African American Broadcast Company in the world, Radio One, Inc. In her home on February 2, 2005, Lolo lost her father Luther Milliner, Sr. to type 2 diabetes. After her dad was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the late 90’s, Lolo watched her father slowly and painfully lose himself to the complications of diabetes. Lolo recalls her handsome, vigorous, soft-spoken father suffering with kidney failure, blindness and eventually, an amputation from a disease that is all too treatable, manageable and preventable. Consequently, it has become Lolo’s passion to promote healthy living, bring attention to diabetes awareness and find a cure for the deadly disease. “No one should suffer like my father and everyone needs to be informed about diabetes”. Lolo, President and CEO of the LifeStyle Festival and her team will continue their healthcare initiative that will compliment the LifeStyle Festival. While the 2008 LifeStyle Festival/Healthy EncoresTM will spotlight diabetes awareness, management and prevention, other health disparities will be addressed. Lolo invites you to join her to raise awareness about the complications of diabetes and the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle. Join Lolo in supporting this important cause. Supporting a healthy lifestyle is the first step to a “Healthy Encore”.
