Brain Aneurysm Foundation

On Monday, May 19th, as my dad was preparing to go to sleep, he experienced the worst headache of his life, which turned out to be a ruptured brain aneurysm. After a successful surgery on May 20th, and 12 long days in the hospital, he was able to come home on May 30th, where he continues to recover and begin his next chapter in retirement. 

We are so grateful to his care team at UPMC Presbyterian for all they did for him and our family during this long hospital stay.

This year, on August 17th, we will be participating in the Brain Aneurysm Foundation Run/Walk in Pittsburgh to raise awareness for others in the community. Please consider donating to our team or joining us on the 17th to walk.

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.
