Miles for Moyamoya is a nonprofit awareness initiative founded by Vince Murdock, dedicated to raising awareness and funding for moyamoya disease research through endurance cycling, storytelling, and community engagement. We operate this website to educate the public, share patient stories, and connect supporters with our mission.
This website provides general awareness and educational information about moyamoya disease. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
The content on this website, including articles, personal stories, and descriptions of medical procedures, is intended for informational and awareness purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on this website.
If you suspect you or someone you know may have moyamoya disease or any other medical condition, contact a qualified healthcare provider immediately. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency services number.
Personal stories and recovery accounts shared on this website, including Vince Murdock's experiences, represent individual outcomes. Every patient's situation is unique. Surgical results, recovery timelines, and exercise capabilities vary based on individual health factors, disease severity, and the surgical team involved.
References to medical research, statistics, and treatment options are provided for educational purposes and are based on publicly available information at the time of writing. Medical knowledge evolves, and we encourage readers to consult current peer-reviewed sources and qualified specialists for the most up-to-date information.
Content describing cycling events, endurance sport, and physical rehabilitation after moyamoya surgery reflects the personal experience of individuals who train under medical supervision. Do not begin any exercise programme, particularly after brain surgery or a moyamoya diagnosis, without consulting your neurosurgeon and medical team. Physical activity carries inherent risks that may be heightened for individuals with cerebrovascular conditions.
