Although she hasn't been cured, Brooklyn is successfully managing her pain.
As an expression of gratitude, her parents have joined forces with the foundation, improving the lives of children.
Their goal is to bring the same type of pain management centre to Ontario, that the Mills family had to pay for in the states.

    We were at the Mayo Clinic with Brooklyn during her time there. My daugter, Kasey, attended the Pain Rehabilitation Clinic also. Brooklyn is a beautiful, captivating young woman, just like her mother. The Mayo clinic truly does help young people get their lives back. Rebecca and Brooklyn will be forever friends and always an inspiration.
