Brain Aneurysm Foundation

Hi everyone, the Rhinebeck HV Half & 5K is raising awareness and funds for the Brain Aneurysm Foundation in loving memory of Elizabeth “Liz” Ann Irwin. Mom of the race director and her sisters, beloved Grammie, devoted wife, amazing sister/mother in-law/friend/teacher/church member and pillar of the Rhinebeck community. She will forever be loved and missed. 

We have set up a Memorial Page. Please click Donate Now on this page. You can read more about the great work of BAF as well as make a secure donation online. The Brain Aneurysm Foundation is the world's only nonprofit organization solely dedicated to providing critical awareness, education, support and research funding to reduce the incidence of brain aneurysm ruptures. 

All proceeds go towards:

• Funding and supporting new research.
• Providing support and educational materials to the medical community, the newly diagnosed, survivors, family members, friends and the general public regarding the facts, treatment options, and recovery process for brain aneurysms. 
• Increasing awareness of brain aneurysms by promoting National Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month in September and by distributing aneurysm awareness materials to Emergency Departments in every hospital and to the community. 

With your support, we can start making a real investment to help fight the devastation caused by brain aneurysms and save lives. All donations are tax-deductible and every dollar raised goes to help support the mission of the Brain Aneurysm Foundation. 

If you cannot make a donation at this time, please forward this e-mail and link to everyone you know. Post this on your Facebook and Twitter pages. Every donation counts, no matter what the amount. 

The loss of a loved one is devastating. Yet, we are always reminded by our hearts – how lucky we have been to know those that we loved even in our loss.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Your generosity and support is greatly appreciated.
