My Story…
In 2023, we raised $4,612 in just three days—and in 2024, we surpassed that with $5,286 in not much more time! This year, for the third year in a row, I’m proud to be fundraising for the Brain Aneurysm Foundation in honor of my mom, Helen.
This year is especially significant—it marks the 20th anniversary of the day an aneurysm ruptured in my mom’s basilar artery, located at the back of the brain. Back in 2005, doctors at Hartford Hospital told us she would not survive. But my Mom had other plans. That moment changed everything and began a lifelong journey filled with challenges.
Despite obstacles that would seem insurmountable to many, my mom faces each day with strength, positivity and humor. She is the definition of resilience.
Your donation will go toward:
Funding research to prevent ruptured brain aneurysms
Improving treatment outcomes
Providing vital support to caregivers and families
Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you for your continued support!
Description
I’m Running to Save Lives! 🏃♀️❤️
This year, I’m excited to be running in the Falmouth Road Race to support the Brain Aneurysm Foundation (BAF)! This cause is deeply important to me, and I’m dedicated to raising awareness, funding critical research, and helping those affected by brain aneurysms.
💙 Why This Matters:
🔹 1 in 50 people have an unruptured brain aneurysm
🔹 Every 18 minutes, an aneurysm ruptures—often with devastating effects
🔹 Awareness, research, and early detection can save lives
This year’s theme is “Be the Key to Saving Lives”, because together, we can unlock hope and change outcomes for survivors and families.
💙 How You Can Help:
🔑 Donate to my fundraiser—every dollar makes a difference
🔑 Share my page to spread awareness
🔑 Cheer me on as I run for this life-saving cause
I’m grateful for your support—thank you for being part of this journey!
