As a rare disease, AVMs bring with them a whole host of issues that aneurysm patients never face, causing us long ago to adopt the motto: It's only RARE until it happens to YOU. (TM) We hope you'll turn October GREEN as we stand #UnitedandRare during AVM Awareness Month!

It's #AVMAwarenessMonth, & like Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month, we will concentrate on education, solidarity and LOTS of sharing. We hope to highlight that, unlike aneurysms, AVMs (arteriovenous malformations) are considered a RARE DISEASE affecting 18/100,000 in the US. (1of2]
