Raising money for Cavernoma Alliance UK

Thames Path Ultra Challenge 2024 · 14 September 2024 ·

Cavernoma Alliance UK (CAUK) supports everyone affected by cavernoma. A cavernoma is a cluster of abnormal blood vessels in the brain or spine. It is more common than many realise yet often unheard of. Our mission is to find a cure and to improve lives through support, information and research.

Story

We are walking for Cavernoma Alliance UK, a very small charity set up to support and help those with this rare disease. A Cavernoma is a cluster of abnormal blood vessels in the brain. Often, a person can have one and never know it, but on rare occasions they bleed, causing strokes or seizures.

Rebecca's daughter Amy had a Cavernoma, discovered in 2020, and on 15 February 2023, she had an operation to remove it. She is lucky in that the Cavernoma was operable. Some are not, and some people can have multiple Cavernomas.

It's a frightening time when first diagnosed, and the Cavernoma Alliance UK are a wonderful support for the Cavernoma community. Please give whatever you can to support this incredibly important charity.
