🎉 Join Us in Climbing Snowdon for Cavernoma Awareness! 🏔️

On 7th June 2025, we’ll be taking on the challenge of climbing Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales, to kick off Cavernoma Awareness Month and raise funds for Cavernoma Alliance UK (CAUK).

This year’s climb is extra special—it’s the 20th anniversary of CAUK, a charity founded in 2005 by Dr. Ian Stuart. To mark this milestone, we’re aiming to raise £20,000 to support people living with cavernoma and fund vital research.

💡 What is a cavernoma?

Cavernomas are clusters of abnormal blood vessels that look like raspberries. Found in the brain and spinal cord, these vessels have thin, leaky walls that can bleed without warning at any age. While 1 in 625 people are thought to have a cavernoma, 1 in 2,700 experience symptoms, including:

🍓Brain haemorrhages

🍓Seizures

🍓Neurological problems

Treatment options are limited to "wait and see," neurosurgery, or stereotactic radiosurgery.

💙 About Cavernoma Alliance UK

CAUK was founded by Dr. Ian Stuart after his life changed overnight due to a cavernoma bleed. What began as a helpline in Ian’s bedroom has grown into a national charity with over 4,000 members. CAUK’s mission is to find a cure for cavernoma while providing education, support, and resources to those affected by this condition.
