OUR MISSION

The mission of The Bee Foundation is to raise awareness of brain aneurysms and increase funding for innovative research that changes lives. We are building a robust and dynamic brain aneurysm research community with our Scientific Advisory Board, donors and network of researchers interested in grant funding to support meaningful research. Our community, anchored by our grant recipients, is committed to advancing brain aneurysm research.

Jenny Sedney, the inspiration for The Bee Foundation, was 27 years old when she died from a ruptured brain aneurysm. A certified health coach and bee lover, her health blog, the WellNest, reflected her belief in the healing qualities of bees and their ability to perform tasks that have often confounded scientists. Our name, and our three fundamental pillars of activity, mirror her passion.
