I walk in memory of all those who have dedicated their lives to caring for and finding safer treatment options for AVM patients. In particular: William L. Young, MD, pioneer and giant in the AVM research field and founder of the UCSF Center for Cerebrovascular Research; Nancy Quinnine, RN, nurse and inaugural TAAF patient support group educator; and Lisa Hannegin, RN, nurse and inaugural TAAF patient support group educator. May their memories live on in all of us.
We Are the Lighthouse Keepers
No one should have to navigate brain aneurysm, AVM, or stroke alone.
Every day, survivors, caregivers, clinicians, volunteers, donors, and supporters help others find their way through some of life's most difficult moments. TAAF calls these individuals Lighthouse Keepers.
This year, I'm walking to help keep that light burning for others.
Your support helps provide:
Trusted education and resources
Connection to a caring community
Hope for patients and families
Research that advances treatment and care
Thank you for being part of the light. Your support means the world to me.
