We're fundraising for the Brain Aneurysm Foundation!
Donna Walsh Fortune was an active, healthy, person. She was a non-smoker. She didn't do anything to put herself at a higher risk for aneurysms. She played sports her whole life... CYO basketball and softball for Sacred Heart in Bayside, NY... softball, volleyball, and basketball for Bayside High School... softball for St. John's University... she coached softball for Sacred Heart... she coached basketball for Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament in Bayside, and she played softball for McElroy's and Donovan's in the Bayside Women's Softball League.
Donna was only 29 years old when she died. In those 29 years, she was a devoted mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, friend, teammate, and coach. She touched many lives and made many memories.
The goals of this event are to increase awareness about the warning signs of a brain aneurysm, as well as to help raise funds to support essential research that may directly benefit those affected and help to reduce the incidence of ruptured aneurysms. The money raised will benefit the 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.
Thank you for making a difference with your support!
