PAWS AND POSE FOR THE CAMERA

Does your pet deserve a spotlight? (The answer is yes.)

Our Picture Purrfect July newsletter is ALL about the animals who've been by our sides through brain aneurysms, AVMs, strokes, and everything in between. We want to meet them.

🐾 Every-Bunny Counts (Tier 1) — Just a photo and your name. Or add one sentence: What does your pet mean to you?

🐾 Tails of Triumph (Tier 2) — Tell us one moment your pet showed up for you. A short paragraph is all we need.

Stories about pets still with you AND those who've crossed the rainbow bridge are welcome. 🌈

Deadline: June 15, 2026. bit.ly/TAAFPurrfect

Sudden one-sided weakness, numbness, or loss of control—whether in the arm, leg, or face—can be a sign of hemorrhagic stroke.

We’re honored to partner with to launch a new chapter of support for the aneurysm, AVM, and hemorrhagic stroke community.

Starting this Thursday, May 14, The Aneurysm and AVM Foundation SF Bay Area Support Group at UCSF will meet monthly in San Francisco, creating an in-person space for survivors, caregivers, families, and those navigating diagnosis, recovery, or loss.

For many years, TAAF’s support group was rooted at UCSF. When the pandemic told us we couldn’t be together, we built something new—an online support community that has since grown into the backbone of our programming, reaching people nationwide and across the globe.

Returning to UCSF is not a replacement for that community. It’s an extension of it. A coming home.

Hosted in partnership with UCSF and Christine Ainza, NP (Department of Neurological Surgery), this gathering reflects a shared belief that care and connection do not end when an appointment is over.

This is also just the beginning. We hope this model becomes a template for bringing more in-person Brain Buddy opportunities to institutions and communities in the future.

🧠 The Aneurysm and AVM Foundation SF Bay Area Support Group at UCSF
📍 UCSF | 400 Parnassus Ave., 8th Floor, Room A-888
🗓 Second Thursdays | Beginning May 14
🕕 6–8 PM PDT

Unexpected anxiety isn’t always emotional.
And that difference matters.

A sudden, intense feeling of panic, fear, or confusion can be an unexpected symptom of hemorrhagic stroke, often accompanying the classic “thunderclap” headache and other sudden neurological changes.

Hemorrhagic stroke IS stroke. Don’t wait. Get scanned.
