I also want to share with you something amazing that has happened thanks to Pepsi Refresh!
In 2007 Kari was diagnosed with brain aneurysms along with FMD. She has been in contact with Natalie Niekro, she is the beautiful daughter of Joe Niekro (Major League Baseball Player- played for the Twins) Joe Niekro passed away from cerebral aneurysm. Natalie started a foundation, the Joe Niekro Foundation to raise awareness and research money for aneurysms. She did a fundraiser in 2010 with the Minnesota Twins, and Dr. Robert Brown, Director of Neurology - Mayo Rochester. The Joe Nieko Foundation and MWVA are teaming up to fight brain aneurysms!
