Diagnosed Too Young

A young woman from the Chicago area found herself in the fight of her life just days before her wedding.
  
Ten days before she was set to say "I do" doctors told Roopa Desai she had a brain aneurysm.  Then several days later, she  learned she also had a blood clot in her lungs. 

See how Roopa fought and survived two life threatening illnesses and how she's now using her story to help others:



Check out Roopa's website, Diagnosed Too Young

"I know what it was like to feel like I was about to die.  And then to have this second chance at life...  I want to give hope to people at a time where you have very little hope."

Roopa has planned a 5K Run/1 Mile Walk with another young brain aneurysm survivor in the Chicago area named Lauren. CLICK HERE to find out how to sign up for the First Annual Brain Aneurysm Step For Hope. It will take place on Saturday, September, 24 at Armstrong Park in Carol Stream. All proceeds will go directly to The Brain Aneurysm Foundation.

I'll be there for the race! Hope to see you there, too:)

Rupa's true story inspires many people who need little hope to live. True love, hope, faith, and good family support can concur anything in life.
