Cavernoma Ireland is a voluntary support group.

Our Mission is to help people living in Ireland who are affected by cavernoma, including friends, family, carers and professionals.

We aim to do this through support, providing information, putting members in contact with other relevant parties and hosting events.

Our Goal is to raise awareness of cavernoma, and its consequences for those affected.
