Monahan Running Club - In Memory of Dorothy Monahan
![Running4Mom](../images/friendraiser_uploads/2070.220496151.custom.png)
The unofficial Monahan Running Club (a family of runners of all different abilities) is becoming official! Our family is running to bring awareness to a cause very close to our hearts. We lost our Mother (and Nanny) Dorothy Monahan in 2012 to a ruptured brain aneurysm. Dorothy, along with her husband John, was a longtime runner. She ran in a handful of local races in Utica, NY where she and John started their family and then transitioned to running for the joy of it and to maintain her fitness. She never completed Utica's biggest event, The Boilermaker 15k Road Race but she was at the finish line cheering on John and other family members each year they participated. For the first official Monahan Running Club event, we are running the 2024 Boilermaker for her.
We are raising awareness and funds for the Brain Aneurysm Foundation - We hope you will join us in supporting this critical 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.
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
- Advocacy efforts to increase federal research funding for brain aneurysm research
All donations are tax-deductible and every dollar raised goes to help support the mission of the Brain Aneurysm Foundation.
Thank you for supporting and sharing our mission to end the devastation caused by brain aneurysm ruptures!
