Hi everybody,

As some of you know, I am raising awareness and funds for the Brain Aneurysm Foundation by participating in this year's Escape from Alcatraz triathlon! I'm excited to be participating in this event for many reasons - the challenge of swimming from Alcatraz to shore, the camraderie of training with other particpants, and also to bring awareness to this amazing organization, which is very close to my heart.

My best friend from high school passed away from a brain aneurysm at just 34 years old in August, 2018. I'm participating in this event as a way to honor her memory. As I train I will think of the late night conversations we had at New Jersey diners, the giggles we shared at my senior prom, and that time we used fake IDs to get into Splash bar on my 18th birthday!

I'd love to count on you to make a donation to the organization so that I can help them fulfill their mission and my goal of raising $5,000. Giving is easy - just click Donate Now on my page.

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

Thank you so much for your contribution - it means a lot to me and will go a great way in helping others!
