Thank you to the Darren A. Lyles Memorial Fund

Darren Lyles
In July 2000, Darren Lyles and his wife, Maribeth, were a happy married
couple, who had just moved into a new home with their two baby girls.

On July 12th, Darren woke up with a headache, took a migrane medication and went back to sleep. A few hours later, Maribeth, found him with his right side stationary. A former lifeguard, she immediately concluded that he had had a stroke and called 911.

The hospital staff instead focused on the possibility of an overdose, testing him for drugs. They also did a spinal tap and gave him blood thinner. Frustrated, Maribeth exclaimed “Why aren’t you doing a brain scan?”
