THE DOCTOR’S CORNER: In this edition of Dr. Mark Pinsky’s “The Doctors’ Corner,” Aran Hissam talks about the Brianna Marie Foundation and the organization’s upcoming Brianna Marie Foundation 5K run set for March 7 at Wickham Park in Melbourne. Hissam’s daughter, Brianna Marie, passed away on March 16, 2012, 15 hours after she was born. However, those 15 hours turned into the greatest of life’s inspirations for Aran, who started the foundation in her honor to help raise awareness for fetal illnesses such as fetal hydrops, the condition that took her only daughter. Above, watch as Dr. Pinsky spoke with Aran about the Brianna Marie Foundation and the upcoming 5k run – this is an inspiring story and one you don’t want to miss.
