Brain Aneurysm Foundation

Carl Lance LaFore passed away on December 22, 2014 at the age of 54 after having a brain aneurysm in September 1998 at the age of 38.  He spent the last 16 years at Oakbrook Health and Rehabilitation Center in Summerville, SC. 

Lance will always be remembered for his bright mischievious smile that could light up a room.  His adventursome spirit took him all over the country, living in Nashville TN, Dallas TX, Evergreen CO, Jupiter FL and Charleston, SC.  He enjoyed movies and NASCAR, and loved the mountains and the beach.  Lance will always be remembered for his sense of adventure and his bright shining charming smile.

This cause is near and dear to the family as Lance's father, Ronald LaFore, also passed away following a brain aneurysm in 1992 at the age of 57.

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.
