Spring Break Horror: College Student's Rare Condition Causes Brain Hemorrhage in Mexico

A University of Georgia student, Liza Burke, suffered a brain hemorrhage while on spring break in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and was diagnosed with an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), a cluster of abnormal blood vessels in the brain. She was flown back to the U.S. and is receiving treatment at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. Burke is no longer sedated and is breathing on her own, and is able to communicate by squeezing her hand and nodding. A GoFundMe was created to help pay for the costs of the emergency transportation, and in two days, more than $140,000 was raised.
