When it comes to TAAF’s iconic phrase, your words say it best — gratitude shared, encouragement given, and the deep relief of being seen. 💚

An AVM can be silent — until it isn’t.
About half of people with a arteriovenous malformation only discover it after it ruptures — often causing a life-threatening brain hemorrhage or stroke.

That’s why awareness matters.
When families know the signs — persistent headaches, seizures, weakness, or sudden changes in speech or vision — they can push for answers that might save a life.

This October, during AVM Awareness Month, we stand with survivors, caregivers, and the families whose stories remind us why awareness saves lives.

Help us make sure no one faces this diagnosis alone.

What’s an AVM? Read this ⬇️

One of the most frequent questions I hear when discussing is “A what?!”
🧠
I frequently describe what an is...to regular people and even to staff in the ER (yes, that’s borderline terrifying).
🧠
Interesting tidbit: AVM affects 18 in 100,000....making it a rare disease. They affect less than 1% of the population. It’s a pretty exclusive club that we never would’ve joined willingly.
