Coming Together, Funding the Cure
Join us in Golden Valley as we come together to fund the cure for cavernous malformation! Enjoy catered hors d'oeuvres and drinks on us!
Our community is coming together virtually across the country for one evening to show you who Alliance to Cure Cavernous Malformation is and why their work is important moving towards the cure for cavernous malformation.
The event will benefit the non-profit organization Alliance to Cure Cavernous Malformation, the only patient and research organization supporting those affected by cerebral cavernous malformations. A cavernous malformation is a raspberry-shaped abnormal blood vessel in the brain that can hemorrhage and cause strokes, seizures, disability, and even death in both children and adults. People with hereditary forms of the illness can develop many cavernous malformations in a lifetime. Currently, brain surgery is the only treatment. The Alliance to Cure Cavernous Malformation is working with researchers to develop medications that will prevent hemorrhage and prevent development of more lesions.
