After reviewing thousands of submissions and hearing the incredibly passionate stories, The Joe Niekro Foundation is thrilled to announce the winners of the Brain Aneurysm Survivor Model Search.  You certainly didn’t make it easy to choose as each story was more moving than the next.

Congratulations to these beautiful faces that will be representing survivors across America in an ad campaign for the luxury hat maker, Canada Bliss!  Our goal is to put a face on brain aneurysms and AVMs and help remove the stigma associated with brain illness while encouraging survivors to share their experiences and help save lives. Each and every one of you is a winner and we thank you for sharing your stories.
