Brain Aneurysm Foundation

I'm fundraising for the Brain Aneurysm Foundation!

This September marks 9 years since my embolizations and craniotomy for a recurrent AVM, and 5 years since long covid changed my life again — and I’m overjoyed and grateful to be running the Brain Aneurysm Foundation NYC 5K. The years since have tested me physically, mentally, and emotionally in ways I never expected. Running has opened up a sense of possibility, and reminds me, again and again, how capable the body and mind are of healing.

Thank you to my family, friends, doctors, and nurses who supported me along the way. If you’re able, please consider donating to this meaningful cause as we raise awareness for brain injury and the often lifelong 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!
