Brain Aneurysm Foundation

My name is Janet Sutherland Madden and I’m raising awareness and funds for the Brain Aneurysm Foundation and I hope I can count on your help; we need it!

When I first started this journey early this year, I had expected to be able to walk the 10 mile route from Elmhurst to Glen Ellyn along the Illinois Prairie Path with my crew, Team Hope and other participants, however, due to COVID, I changed the event plan and decided to do the walk alone to social distance and keep others safe. As of now, I’m disappointed that due to my health, I can no longer do even that and so my husband has offered to walk in my place and I will join him at the end.

Although I can’t walk the entire distance, I’m hopeful that our message of inspiration and survival will be enough to motivate others to join me and our other donors who’ve already generously contributed to help us towards our goals. With so many non-profit organizations having to cancel their events due to the pandemic, the Brain Aneurysm Foundation greatly needs your support and funds to continue their mission.

The Brain Aneurysm Foundation is the world's premier nonprofit organization solely dedicated to providing critical awareness, education, support and research funding to reduce the incidence of brain aneurysm ruptures.

Giving is easy and secure! 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 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.
