The Butterfly AVM Charity

1 month ago

Freddies Story x
Freddie’s AVM is in his brain and 2 years ago he had radiosurgery to treat it. Treatment is potentially ongoing and Freddie has been so very brave, having to deal with the hospital visits, scans and worries about what might be happening in his head. We are truly touched and inspired by the Freddies bravery. He is an inspiration to us all and despite all his problems he is raising money for our Charity by running 40k in 4 weeks! Please help him reach his goal. Together we can make a change.

The Butterfly AVM Charity

The Butterfly AVM Charity is proud to highlight the brilliant work done by the Research Team that we are funding at The Royal Free and the University College London. Their research focuses on AVM angiogenesis. This is a normal process in the body’s replacement of damaged tissue, but it can also occur under abnormal mutational conditions and leads to AVM growth and recurrence after treatment. This is demoralizing for both the patient who often has to undergo recurring potentially dangerous treatments and the surgeon or interventional radiologist who have to repeat treatments after regrowth and expansion. The goal of this research is to understand the process required for this revascularisation to occur and to identify biomarkers and screen drugs that can potentially stop and reverse this growth. This research could not have been done without the amazing fundraisers. Thank you x Together we can make a change.

Our friends at the brainbook Charity produced a video showing a brain angiogram and they have kindly given it to us to share. They aim to improve public and patient understanding of neurological and neurosurgical diseases. Combining medical illustration, narrative film, and research to improve understanding and reduce anxiety.

A brain angiogram is a relatively common procedure in neurosurgery. Check out this video of an actual brain angiogram where we use a catheter, x-ray imaging guidance and an injection of contrast material to examine blood vessels in the brain for abnormalities such as aneurysms and artero-venous malformations.

Cerebral angiography produces very detailed, clear and accurate pictures of blood vessels in the brain and may eliminate the need for surgery.

Patient: Dr. Gwen Evans
Radiologist: Dr. Adam Rennie
Hospital: The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, London, UK.

Thanks to all the team for making this possible and special thanks to Gwen for letting us film her procedure!

This year will be 5 years since we lost the legend that is Andrew Perkins, all that knew him will know he was such a great guy and had such a fantastic attitude to life. He never let his health issues get him down and was determined to live his life to the max!

In May I will be running my first ever marathon and thought it would be a great way to raise funds for The Butterfly AVM Charity in his memory.

One saying he loved was 'If you wanna see the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain' .... I have found myself repeating this mantra on some tough training runs and his ongoing inspiration has certainly spurred me on!

Any amount small or large is appreciated and will give me extra motivation to push on through!
