The Walk will take place on Saturday, May 24th in Carolina Beach, NC.

Like any foundation that has large goals, funding is a necessity. The Brain Aneurysm Foundation can help change someone’s life.

100% of your donation goes directly to The Brain Aneurysm Foundation.

Gina, who was only 37 years of age, who was our step-mother, wife, sister, "Ninny" (grandmother) and best friend, passed away November 1, 2007, of a ruptured brain aneurysm which also caused her to have a major heart attack. Her family, not knowing the symptoms warning us that she was seriously sick, was completely caught off guard. Not allowing her demise to be in vain, we have asked ourselves how many others out there do not know about this disease and how fatal it can be.

Upon educating ourselves just what a brain aneurysm is, and the symptoms warning those who have one, we have coordinated with The Brain Aneurysm Foundation to help raise funds to help to get the word out, and maybe one day find a test to help find those who may have this lethal killer.

How special was Gina? Very! She and her husband considered each other soul mates. She loved her 4 step-children as if they were her own. “Ninnie” was loved by all of her 9 step-grandchildren. Gina loved life and was a very gracious person to know. Without question she would give to anyone who needed help. Her heart of gold won her many friends in her short life. Gina was the type of person after meeting her, you could not help but feel the love she generated. She is deeply, deeply missed, and will always inspire us.

To return her love we have taken on the challenge of helping to raise the necessary funds needed at The Brain Aneurysm Foundation to get the word out.
