Stroke Pizza Second Chance Bookclub
We’re hosting a second book club after hearing from several people who weren’t able to attend the first and asked for another opportunity to join.
This will be a relaxed, low-pressure gathering—whether you’ve finished the book, just started, or simply want to listen in, you’re welcome.
April 30th, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET, 4:00 PM PT.

Stroke Pizza is a collection of short stories written by members of the cavernous malformation (CCM) community.
In 2025, as Rare Disease Day approached, a small group of patients and caregivers began searching for a rare disease anthology that included CCM. When they couldn’t find one, they decided to create their own. Over the course of a year, participants met monthly to write, share, revise, and encourage one another — transforming a book club idea into a meaningful writing project.
The result is a compilation of honest, varied, and deeply personal stories about living with CCM — stories that explore resilience, humor, loss, adaptation, and the unexpected moments that shape life with a rare neurovascular condition.
