Brain aneurysms are often called 'silent killers' because they typically show no symptoms until they burst, leading to life-threatening conditions. It’s estimated that about 6 million people in the United States have an unruptured brain aneurysm, and every 18 minutes, a brain aneurysm ruptures.

Today, we are joined by two remarkable individuals who are deeply involved in raising awareness and advocating for the prevention and support of brain aneurysms. Erin Kreszl, the Executive Director of The Bee Foundation, and Tricia Scobey, a survivor of a life-changing brain aneurysm and the race director of the run series, which raises money for the Bee Foundation.

• Erin, can you share the mission and vision of The Bee Foundation and how you became involved with it?
• What are some key initiatives and programs The Bee Foundation is currently focused on?
• Tricia, can you share with us your story and the experience of surviving a life-changing brain aneurysm?
• Tricia, what role did organizations like The Bee Foundation play in your recovery and ongoing support?
• Erin, what resources and support do you offer to survivors and their families?
• Tricia, how has your life changed since surviving the brain aneurysm?
• What are some of the key lessons or insights you have gained from this experience?

• Erin and Tricia, back to you. We are organizing a 5K run, run/walk, or walk on Saturday, September 14th, at Heckscher Park in honor of my late sister, Lori, who passed away from a brain aneurysm. Let’s talk a little bit about the event.
• Erin, what are the primary goals for this 5K event in terms of fundraising and awareness?
• Tricia, who can join the Lori Weiss Memorial Fun Run/Walk?
• (For you – answer this question: What can our listeners do to support the 5K event on September 14th, whether they are participating locally, virtually, or looking to sponsor?)
• Finally, how can people register for Lori Weiss Memorial Fun Run/Walk or learn more about The Bee Foundation?
