About WeRunWithYou
WeRunWithYou is a non-profit organization founded by Kathy Nguyen and her husband, Rob Alvarez, to support brain aneurysm survivors. A brain aneurysm ruptures every 18 minutes and most show no prior symptoms. Approximately 50% of patients who suffer a ruptured brain aneurysm die before reaching a hospital. The statistics show that 1 in 50 people have an unruptured aneurysm. Kathy was one in 50 and on March 8th, 2015 she suffered a rupture. This experience motivated Kathy to start #RunLAwithKathy and WeRunWithYou. Our mission: to help brain aneurysm survivors return to doing what they love best through spreading awareness and inspiration, and fundraising for brain aneurysm research.
