My Story…
Hi Everyone!
I'm excited to be running the Falmouth Road Race in August, in support of the Brain Aneurysm Foundation. This foundation is very close to home, as my mother experienced a near fatal brain aneurysm in 2001. My mother, Christine, was 36 at the time and experienced a ruptured aneurysm, and survived emergency brain surgery.
The Brain Aneurysm Foundation was established in 1994 by a renowned Boston neurosurgeon and neurosurgical nurse practitioner who, through their practice, identified numerous treatment gaps and access to resources amongst both their patients and the broader medical community
Your donation to the Brain Aneurysm Foundation goes directly to critical research efforts focused on reducing the incidence of brain aneurysm ruptures, to create new diagnostics to better prevent ruptures and interventions to transform treatment. Funds are also used to support education initiatives as BAF works to advance awareness of the signs of brain aneurysms amongst those at risk, as well as providers and emergency responders.
Please consider donating to this incredible foundation!
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!
