Sometimes, the first word you hear is “aneurysm.” Then comes 3 letters: “AVM.”

For some people, an aneurysm is discovered, or an aneurysm bleeds, and the investigation reveals an AVM, too. During AVM Awareness Month, this connection deserves attention. Understanding aneurysm warning signs matters across our TAAF family.

Whether an aneurysm, an AVM, or someone you love brought you to TAAF, you’re invited to learn with us.

That’s why we’re sharing this free webinar from Weill Cornell Medicine:

When Is a Headache an Emergency?
Monday, November 2 | 9 a.m. Pacific / Noon Eastern
Online via Zoom

Dr. Amol Mehta will discuss brain aneurysm warning signs, when to seek emergency care, and minimally invasive treatments. Submit your questions when you register.

Education is part of how we care for one another. Share this with someone who could use the information.

An AVM doesn’t have to be in your brain to change your life.

Yesterday, the spine. Today, the face and limbs. Different locations. The same need to be understood.

If this is your reality, you belong here. Share this with someone who needs to see beyond the diagnosis.

Your AVM doesn’t have to be in the brain for you to belong here.

TAAFWalk may be over, but we’re not done gathering the moments.

Big groups. Quiet moments. Signs. Shirts. Families. Friends. Neighborhoods. Finish lines. We want all of it.

Because one walk in one city could never tell the whole story.

Follow the thread through the TAAF Store—where every design carries a story.

And one of those stories makes us smile. **The Aphasia Tee** came from something one of our support group members actually said: *“I forgot the word for aphasia.”*

If you know aphasia, you probably understand the humor. Sometimes a shared laugh says, *you get it—and you’re not alone.*
