We raise awareness of cavernoma to improve the lives of people affected

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.
