Recognizing the Trinity Love Hoblit Foundation

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BEAN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, did you know that September is national Brain Aneurysm Awareness month?

The Trinity Love Hoblit Foundation certainly does. The Foundation is a nonprofit, headquartered in Florida and named after Trinity, who at age 9 was diagnosed with multiple brain aneurysms. In 2015, Trinity was scheduled for open brain surgery but passed away 2 days prior because her aneurysm ruptured.

About 1 in 50 Americans have an unruptured brain aneurysm. Brain aneurysms are more common and harmful than people know.

Mr. Speaker, while her passing was a tragic loss for our community, The Trinity Love Hoblit Foundation honors her legacy through raising awareness, supporting research, and identifying training for brain aneurysms at Wolfson's Children's Hospital and Baptist Neurological Institute in Jacksonville, Florida.

I thank the Trinity Love Hoblit team for all they do.
