You may know about brain aneurysms, but have you heard of an AVM? October is AVM Awareness Month. An AVM is a tangle of abnormal blood vessels in the brain that can rupture and cause bleeding. 10–60% of people with an AVM also have a brain aneurysm. bafound.org

As Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month comes to a close, thank you to everyone who stood with us this September. Together, we raised awareness, supported research, and brought brain aneurysms into more conversations. September may be ending, but our work continues.
