Our Story

When we were founded in 2002, there was a void of cavernous malformation (CCM) research and information. Over the last 20 years, we have seized opportunities to bring scientists, patients, doctors, and industry partners together to advance a cure for CCM. Our work has driven research breakthroughs and improved patient care. We now have promising treatments just under five years away. We will persevere until we have a permanent cure for CCM – available, accessible, and affordable for all.
