Brain Aneurysm Foundation

Hi everyone, As many of you know, I am raising awareness and funds for The Brain Aneurysm Foundation, and I have set up a Memorial Page for Vinnie Migliore. I'd like to be able to count on you to make a donation to the organization so that I can help them fulfill their mission. Giving is easy! Please click Donate Now on my page. You can read more about what we do here as well as make a secure donation online.

My personal story: My dad suffered a brain aneurysm rupture on January, 7th 2015. This was the worst day of my life. My dad remained in ICU for about a week in a coma before we had to make the difficult decision to take him off of life support. He was only 56 and was larger than life. He had so many plans that came to a screeching halt that awful day. He was my hero and was “my everything”. It’s only my mom and I (I just turned 25) and we are just devastated. One day I was talking and hanging out with my very healthy father and the next he was essentially gone. His damage was so catastrophic by the time we got to the hospital we couldn’t even talk to him. He had no prior health complications and was healthier than most people I know! I’ll be honest I didn’t even know what an aneurysm was before this but now I can tell you almost every fact, complication and every prevention of these ruptures. My dad was the best guy I’ve ever known and was a huge part of my life. A part of me is missing now. I do not want other families to suffer from the excruciating pain caused by a cerebral aneurysm rupture. ***Early detection is key.*** I cannot stress that enough. Let’s raise awareness together! 

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.
