Brain Aneurysm Foundation

I'm fundraising for the Brain Aneurysm Foundation! 

On September 30, 2023, my life changed forever.  I had spent the morning with my friends at a fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis, then that evening I was at the wedding of a dear friend who was marrying the love of her life.  The day had been so wonderful and magical, until it just wasn't.

I felt tired, and worn out but that was to be expected after the day I just had.  All of a sudden, I felt a lightning bolt strike the back of my head.

Fade to black

When I woke up, my husband was already on the phone with EMS. I made it to the ER where things got very serious very fast. I was told I had a ruptured brain aneurysm and would need to be admitted to the Neuro ICU immediately.  

The following day I had a craniotomy and had my aneurysm clipped.  Then began the road to recovery.

OUR MISSION: To promote early detection of brain aneurysms by providing knowledge and raising awareness of the signs, symptoms and risk factors. Work with the medical communities to provide support networks for patients and families, as well as to further research that will improve patient outcomes and save lives.

Through your support, the Brain Aneurysm Foundation will be able to continue to provide support and educational materials and information to brain aneurysm patients, their families, and the medical community and to promote critical awareness of brain aneurysms which will lead to earlier detection. The Brain Aneurysm Foundation is funding essential research that will promote a better understanding of why this condition happens and identify those at risk before an aneurysm rupture occurs. 

Thank you for making a difference with your support!
