Brain Aneurysm Foundation

Welcome to the 2nd YEAR of "The Brothers Brainy Bunch" Team's 2025 Annual New York City Run/Walk!

​

For those of you who may not know, my personal story is that last year on the evening of April 23rd, 2024 I had a brain aneurysm rupture. After being misdiagnosed as a migraine (by both myself assuming as much - what else could it be? - and medically by a walk-in clinic) and losing precious time with me trying to “sleep it off” - I went to the ER approximately 1.5 days later when I couldn’t take the pain and dehydration anymore and from there, it ("it" being, namely, my life being saved) all happened so quickly.

September 13th, 2025 I will be participating as a walker in this 5K. If you're interested, you can join my team and register as a walker or runner (your choosing!) This can be done both in NYC in September, or virtually anywhere in the world you may live.

Here are some important facts about why I'd like to raise money for the Brain Aneurysm Foundation specifically:

​

Every September, brain aneurysm survivors, medical professionals, friends, families, and supporters come together for a dynamic timed 5K run/walk followed by a festive afterparty. This family-friendly event is an opportunity to remember and honor loved ones who have been affected by brain aneurysms. 

Right now, my fundraising goal reflects the symbolism of both Cindy Sherwin and I having our aneurysms hemorrhage on April 23rd. (I’d HAPPILY exceed that written amount, though, if that happy accident occurs!) Every donation made is another possible life saved from the devastation caused by brain aneurysms.

Early detection saves lives.

 -------------------------------------------------------------

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!
