SAN FRANCISCO -- Despite rain and cold temperatures on Sunday, several hundred people set off from San Francisco's Crissy Field on the Aneurysm and AVM Foundation Walk, an annual event to raise support and awareness of rare brain disorders.
An AVM is a tangle of veins and arteries in the brain, like a bird's nest, that forms randomly in some developing embryos.

"I have to say my prayers at night because I never know when my brother could stop breathing or have a seizure," Kayden said. "I make sure to always try to hang out with my brother and spend as much time as I can with him. Just make sure we live to the fullest.""When he received the diagnosis, there really wasn't anybody in Texas locally who could help us," said Raylene."So, we went searching for a cure.
