People need to see that, and I'm not looking to make a spectacle of people that survived, but for people to see the children that this happens to, that are fortunate enough to survive or in some cases unfortunate because their quality of life is destroyed.
Gina Keely faced every parent's worst nightmare when her youngest daughter, Paige, tragically passed away at just six years old due to a ruptured arteriovenous malformation (AVM). In the depths of her grief, Gina found a way to channel her pain into a mission that could save others from similar heartbreak.
In this episode of 'Recovery After Stroke', Gina shares the story behind the Paige Keely Foundation, which she established to raise awareness about AVM and provide affordable brain screenings through a dedicated clinic. Gina opens up about the devastating impact of losing Paige and how it spurred her to take action. She discusses the importance of early detection and screening for AVM, a condition that often goes unnoticed until it's too late.
By offering low-cost MRIs, the foundation aims to catch these life-threatening issues early, potentially saving countless lives. The episode is not just about medical facts; it's a deeply personal account of turning unimaginable loss into a powerful force for good. Gina talks about the role of community and support in her journey, emphasizing how collective efforts can lead to meaningful change.
She also shares practical ways listeners can get involved with the foundation, whether through donations, spreading awareness, or participating in events. If you've ever wondered how one person can make a difference in the face of tragedy, Gina's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Tune in to hear her inspiring journey and learn how you can contribute to a cause that’s making real strides in the fight against AVM.
