The Aneurysm and AVM Foundation - A Charitable Nonprofit Organization

The Aneurysm and AVM Foundation (TAAF) was established in 2003 in honor of the founder’s family members who have lived with or died from brain aneurysms. The astonishing lack of public awareness and under-support of research of such a widespread and often fatal condition led to the launch of a crusade to educate and encourage awareness about aneurysms.

TAAF is strictly a pro-bono organization with virtually no administrative costs. Our goal is to direct money where it is needed — into research and public education. See the many ways you can help by going to the Donation section of this website.

Please note:
The Foundation is strictly a fundraising and public awareness organization. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice and should not be considered a source for treatment recommendations. The Foundation cannot give medical advice, answer questions requiring medical diagnosis, or engage in rendering medical or other professional services. For more resources, visit some of the other sites in our Resources section, find the hospital that specializes in aneurysms nearest you, or contact a doctor near you at http://health.yahoo.com/health/physicians/. Specialties to look for are neurology, neurosurgery, neuroradiology.
