Our Story

The sudden loss of Jennifer Sedney to a ruptured brain aneurysm at the age of 27 sparked an outpouring of support and disbelief of the lack of resources dedicated to preventing brain aneurysms….and thus The Bee Foundation was born. Fostering a vibrant research community, establishing trusted donor relationships, and cultivating a network of affected families, the Bee Foundation has evolved into a global community dedicated to our cause.
