As part of Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month, the Department of Neurosurgery partnered with TeamCindy, a fundraising arm of the Brain Aneurysm Foundation, to host the Fourth Annual “Run for Research,” held recently at Riverside Park. Approximately 100 Mount Sinai faculty and staff, and patients and their families—raising nearly $15,000—were among the 300 participants.
“It is amazing to see how this event has grown to become such an important and impactful part of the fight against this devastating disease,” says J Mocco, MD, MS, Director of the Cerebrovascular Center at the Mount Sinai Health System, who led the Mount Sinai team.
