    The Butterfly AVM Charity

    My Name is Lewis Hardy & I am setting up a just giving page to raise awareness of AVM in memory of my brother victor

    Me & my family were on holiday back in Aug & 3 days in.. we got a phone call.. my brother had suffered a major brain aneurysm.. resulting in him losing his life.. we later found out he had a brain AVM.. basically a ticking time bomb & they believe he had it from birth...I love & miss him so much.. he leaves behind a wife & 3 kids.. life is so cruel sometimes... & I would love to just give something back & make people aware of brain AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation)...thank you for listening any donations would be much appreciated & will be going to the butterfly AVM charity..

    Many thanks Lewis

    Good for you Jen. I have only just found out about this charity. 👍🤗🤗🤗❤❤

    Hiya Lewis. We will see what we can do. My husband also had a brain AVM. He was always thought to be epileptic and was treated for that. Sometimes very badly. I havevonly ever seen him have a grad mal seizure 5 times. They stopped in 1994. In early 2003 he begain having excruciating headaches so many times he was summarily dismissed from his job due to absences. His gp sent him for a brain scan at the Walton Centre Hospital for Neurological Excellence at Aintree wher an AVM was found near the optical cortex. He was received gamma knifec steriotactic radiotherapy. The orocedure took two years to plan. He was home next day. He was warned that he would develop a cerebral oedems which he has He also has different types of headaches and central brain pain as well as ME. The Walton still look after his medication which is very little. Still has to take Epilim just in case of risk of seizures and also to protect the lining of the brain. He is medically retired now and plodding along. Still wandering up.the Lakeland fells. The Walton Centre also treat me for CRPS. Gareth's treatment was just over 13 years. If it hadnt been for the wonderful.folks at the Walton and Royal Hamllamshire at Sheffield, I have no doubt that he wouldn't be here today. Not a day goes by without thinking how lucky we are. My 23 year old lad has a dad. He very nearly didnt. Sendingnour live and orayers to you. Anybody eith any knowledgenor experince if this horrible condition is welcome to contact us. There should be more awareness of brain AVM. Good luck🤗🤗👍🙏

    Sending our love and strength to you. I recently did an event to raise money for the charity because my husband also had a brain AVM at age 30. He was very very lucky due to swift medical intervention. We also have 3 children. 💞💞💞

    I had a brain AVM from birth but only found when I was 17 when I had brain haemorrhage. Had several rounds of gamma knife radiation treatment and after twenty years of treatments, in 2017, I was given the all clear finally. Few seizures, one stroke, three haemorrhages later!

    My son has a spinal AVM which was treated with cyberknife a couple of weeks ago. (He’s 23) It will take at least several months for the AVM to completely wither away. I’m so sorry for your brother. We too have raised money for this charity. X
