Our Community
Volunteers within the Cavernous Malformation community regularly plan fundraising events, support activities, and work to improve care through interactions with medical professionals all in support of the mission of Alliance to Cure Cavernous Malformation.
“If you want change to happen, you have to be part of making it happen. A cure starts with us.”
Julie DeMichiel, Patient and Volunteer
Mission Statement
Community Volunteers are dedicated to informing, supporting, and empowering those affected by cavernous malformation and driving efforts toward better treatments and a cure.
Regional zoom groups
We offer several Regional Zoom Collaboration Groups for individuals affected by Cavernous Malformation. These groups serve as dynamic platforms to plan in-person activities and fundraisers within specific regions. Geared towards fostering local engagement, these sessions are not support groups but aim to unite regional members, strategize events, and coordinate fundraising efforts. Join us in making a meaningful impact on our local rare disease community! Email Linda@AllianceToCure.org for more information about regional groups.
