3rd Annual Aarons Angels Racing Towards Awareness

September 21, 2019 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm

$25.00

We will be walking to raise awareness of Brain Aneurysms. All proceeds of walk will go to the Brain Aneurysm Foundation. We are working on our second research grant in Aaron Huls’s name who passed away in 2016 of a massive brain aneurysm.

• An estimated six million people in the United States have an unruptured brain aneurysm, or 1 in 50 people.
• The annual rate of rupture is approximately 8 – 10 per 100,000 people.
• About 30,000 people in the United States suffer a brain aneurysm rupture each year. A brain aneurysm ruptures every 18 minutes.
• There are almost 500,000 deaths worldwide each year caused by brain aneurysms, and half the victims are younger than 50.
• Ruptured brain aneurysms are fatal in about 40% of cases. Of those who survive, about 66% suffer some permanent neurological deficit.
• Approximately 15% of people with a ruptured aneurysm die before reaching the hospital. Most of the deaths are due to rapid and massive brain injury from the initial bleeding.
• Accurate early diagnosis of a ruptured brain aneurysm is critical, as the initial hemorrhage may be fatal or result in devastating neurologic outcomes.

The walk will be at Lake Storey Shelter #1.
