Many people believe brain aneurysms only affect older adults, but that’s a myth. The fact is, brain aneurysms can occur at any age, including in children & young adults. While they’re most common between ages 35 and 60, no one is exempt. Awareness and early detection save lives.

A huge congratulations to Brian V., who completed his first-ever marathon — the Twin Cities Marathon in Minnesota, running in support of BAF. Completing 26.2 miles is an incredible achievement in itself, but doing so to raise awareness makes this milestone even more inspiring.

Surviving a brain aneurysm changes your perspective on everything. For many survivors, the biggest lesson isn’t about what they lost, but what they gained, a deeper appreciation for life itself. Every morning feels like a gift, every moment a reminder of resilience.

Brain aneurysm research is drastically underfunded; the federal government spends just $2.94 per person each year. That’s less than a cup of coffee for every life affected, while conditions with similar death rates get far more funding. https://t.co/q751KH0kkx
