Hi everyone, as many of you may know, I lost my mom several years ago from the sudden rupture of a brain aneurysm at the age of 63. Having also lost my grandmother this same way, it prompted me to have a screening. I learned that I have a brain aneurysm that will require surgical intervention. I realized at that moment how easy it is to detect something that can save your life! Brain aneurysms, as we have since learned, affect people of all ages in many different ways….my story is only one.

Please join me to help provide support to the brain aneurysm community in Connecticut & raise public awareness regarding early detection & treatment of brain aneurysms by participating in my 1st Annual CT 5K Walk.

The Brain Aneurysm Foundation is the world's premier nonprofit organization solely dedicated to providing critical awareness, education, support and research funding to reduce the incidence of brain aneurysm ruptures. 

All proceeds go towards:

• Funding and supporting new research.
• Providing support and educational materials to the medical community, the newly diagnosed, survivors, family members, friends and the general public regarding the facts, treatment options, and recovery process for brain aneurysms. 
• Increasing awareness of brain aneurysms by promoting National Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month in September and by distributing aneurysm awareness materials to Emergency Departments in every hospital and to the community. 

With your support, we can start making a real investment to help fight the devastation caused by brain aneurysms and save lives. All donations are tax-deductible and every dollar raised goes to help support the mission of The Brain Aneurysm Foundation. 

If you cannot make a donation at this time, please forward this link to everyone you know. Post this on your Facebook and Twitter pages. Every donation counts, no matter what the amount. 

The loss of a loved one is devastating. Yet, we are always reminded by our hearts – how lucky we have been to know those that we loved even in our loss.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Your generosity and support is greatly appreciated.
