Reston Virginia Brain Aneurysm Race benefits Brain Aneurysm Foundation and the Washington Regional Transplant Community
Brain aneurysm lawyer Doug Landau after the Susco 8k in Reston Virginia
The 2nd Annual Brain Aneurysm Race for Awareness in Memory of Tim Susco was a success despite the cold, rain and overcast skies. Over 600 runners and walkers participated this year’s race despite the cold, rainy day. Proceeds will be divided among the Brain Aneurysm Foundation and the Washington Regional Transplant Community. The Brain Aneurysm Foundation was established as a public charity. The Foundation developed from a close relationship between patients and healthcare professionals who identified the need for comprehensive information and support for brain aneurysm patients, their families, and the medical community.
Setting 3 goals for himself in light of the cold, rain and rolling course, TriathlonTrialLawyer Doug Landau simply wanted to: finish in the top 20; break 35 minutes; and, keep his heart rate within his anaerobic threshold. Lawyer Landau noted, “Setting goals for every race and every case is important. If you cannot measure it, you cannot manage it.’ Landau achieved all 3 pre-race goals, finishing 17th (and winning an age group award !) with a time of 34:40 and an average heart rat of 172 (resting pulse is usually 42). Landau and the ABRAMS LANDAU team have won cases for clients who have suffered brain damage from aneurysm. Clients lives have been saved by the Center for Cranial and Spinal Surgery and the adroit hands of Dr. Donald Hope. In one case, Dr. Hope testified that it is not unusual to see an aneurysm rupture and cause damage to the brain after straining, lifting or a “val salva” like maneuver.
