Carol Miletti, who has primary immune deficiency disorder (PIDD), lives in Minnesota and has been writing Carol’s Blog for BioRx since it was created in 2007.  BioRx is a consumer-oriented national specialty pharmacy serving individuals with primary immune deficiency disorders and other chronic disorders.

Carol’s Blog provides a forum for patients dealing with a new or existing diagnosis of PIDD, or any patient or family member who desires to learn more about PIDD.  The blog contains links to valuable information, as well as an on-going blog roll of pertinent medical information, meetings for patients to attend, and Carol’s life as she meets the challenges of living with this disease.

Dr. Kirby L. Johnson in Perinatal Genetics Research at Tufts Medical Center, says “Carol is wonderfully deserving of this award, as she has provided a forum in which she has provided education on PIDD, the disease that she has been fighting successfully now for a number of years.  She is in the unique position to inform the public on this disease, as she not only has been living with this disease and therefore able to provide personal insight into PIDD, but is also an intelligent, educated person who is able to inform others in a highly professional manner.  She has done so with courage, grace and humor and truly deserves this award.”
