Through Our Eyes: Why We Stride
Living with cavernous malformation isn’t just a diagnosis—it’s a daily journey filled with uncertainty, resilience, and hope. For my family, it started with a CT scan because of chronic pain, numbness and weakness. Don't know if I had a bleed or if i have them in my brain, just know my spine. My back goes numb with some stinging and feels like crawling sensations under the muscles and it get intense and I start to feel weak. Still trying to get better answers and hiw many , i know I only have 3, but from shoulder blades and up I don't know. Was told if you have them in your spine, you most likely have them in you brain. Fighting to get tested further. Since then, every step forward has mattered.
That’s why we’re joining the 30 miles in 30 days challenge, from June 1–30, as part of Strides to Cure CCM. Every mile we walk honors the fight so many of us face—every mile raises awareness, fuels research, and reminds families like mine that we are not alone.
If you’re able, please consider joining us or making a donation. Together, we can take steps that lead to something greater—a cure.
