New Awareness Campaign

If you are receiving this email, you are probably aware of a brain aneurysm, its signs and symptoms, and how it affects lives if not detected before a rupture.
 
With our new campaign, we want to educate and raise awareness of brain aneurysms among those who don’t know about them and don’t realize that they impact 6.7 million Americans. We want these people to use the foundation as a resource to learn the signs and symptoms and determine if they are at risk.
 
Since launching this digital campaign on July 24th, we have had over 35K views, mostly from a population outside our BAF community.
 
We are reaching new demographics and will save lives! But we are counting on you to share this information with others and help us spread lifesaving awareness. View and share our new campaign HERE


#STOPTHEPOP
Ellie's Law Gains Great Momentum

Ellie's Law (HR902) has officially surpassed the total cosponsors from the last Congress going from 43 to 45! This is a definite sign of the momentum this legislation is gaining. Although the true celebration can only happen when Ellie's Law moves forward, this is one of the first steps to making that happen.


We need your help to secure more cosponsors! You can visit our Initiatives page HERE to see if your representatives have signed on in support of Ellie's Law, and while you are there, you can continue your advocacy efforts by reaching out to your legislators to declare September Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month in your state.
