Brain Aneurysm Foundation

I'm fundraising for the Brain Aneurysm Foundation! 

This walk is especially meaningful to me this year. In December 2025, I underwent a craniotomy and aneurysm clipping. As a survivor of a brain aneurysm rupture in 2014 that was treated with coiling, I understand firsthand the importance of research, advocacy, and support for those affected by brain aneurysms.

I am incredibly grateful to my medical team at Northwestern Memorial and to my friends and family, whose love and encouragement have carried me through more than a decade of medical challenges. Thank you for supporting this cause and helping advance the research and care that make stories like mine possible.

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!
