Brain Aneurysm Foundation

15 years ago, on August 24th, I lost my beautiful mother to an undiagnosed brain aneurysm. Every year, I walk in her honor at the Chicago Brain Aneurysm Foundation, keeping her memory and spirit alive while helping raise awareness and support for others affected by brain aneurysms. This year, she was joined by her dear friend Bonnie, and she also gained another beautiful grandchild, Clark—two special reminders of the love and legacy she left behind. Thank you to everyone who continues to keep her spirit alive, walks alongside me, supports our journey, and donates to this important cause. She may not be here with us, but her love continues to live on through all of us.

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.

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.
