Macy Meadows Memorial Scholarship for Grief and Loss | Delaware County Foundation | Delaware, Ohio | Established 1995 Macy Meadows was a sweet, hardworking 9-year-old who brought endless hope and joy to the world. She was a daughter, a twin sister, a big sister, a granddaughter, and a friend to everyone she met.On June 14, 2016, while on her way to a softball game, Macy suffered an arteriovenous malformation (AVM)....

Understanding AVM anatomy is key to understanding the risks.

An AVM is a tangle of abnormal blood vessels where arteries connect directly to veins, bypassing capillaries. This abnormal flow can weaken vessels and increase the risk of rupture.

Knowing how AVMs form and function helps patients, families, and caregivers recognize the importance of monitoring, treatment, and support.

More AVM facts for AVM Awareness month.

Remember that we will double all donations made to M3 Foundation this month and send to AVM Research. www.m3foundation.org 💚

💚 AVM symptoms can look different for everyone. Some experience bleeding in the brain, while others have headaches, seizures, or difficulty with speech and movement — and some have no symptoms at all. 

If something feels off, speak up. Early detection can make all the difference.
