joyce's story
On October 25, 2025, our family lost Joyce Stauffer to a brain aneurysm. Joyce believed deeply in community and bringing people together. Miles for Minds was created to carry that vision forward. Each year, our community will gather to remember Joyce, raise awareness about brain aneurysms, and support research that could help save lives.
about brain aneurysm foundation
The Brain Aneurysm Foundation was established in 1994 by a renowned Boston neurosurgeon and neurosurgical nurse practitioner who, through their practice, identified numerous treatment gaps and access to resources amongst both their patients and the broader medical community. Over the ensuing 30 years, the nonprofit Brain Aneurysm Foundation has grown to become the globally recognized leader in brain aneurysm awareness, education, support, advocacy, and research funding.
