Brain Aneurysm Foundation

I'm fundraising for the Brain Aneurysm Foundation! 

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.

Ten years ago, my best friend suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm and died very suddenly. She didn’t fit the image of someone you might think would have such a severe health problem - she was 23, healthy, exercised, ate well, and didn’t smoke. Her symptoms were not promptly recognized in the ER for how severe they were, and ever since that experience I have wanted to help make sure people are educated so they can recognize the symptoms of a ruptured brain aneurysm in themselves or their loved ones, and so that medical professionals are better educated and prepared. 

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!
