Thanks to @clemencybh for sharing her story on @BBCNews & @BBCTwo to raise awareness of brain injury and recovery. Our brain aneurysm rupture survivors understand the shock of a sudden rupture, huge recovery challenges and the devastating impact brain injury has. #aftertherupture

Thank you @BBCWomansHour for sharing my story, raising awareness of familial brain aneurysms and @hba_support Women are more likely to have a brain aneurysm and the risks increases when you’re post menopausal. Excited about the ROAR Study led by Diederik Bulters to unpick why 🧬
❗️Brain aneurysms are more common in women than men. @RebeccaMiddle16, founder of @hba_support, was diagnosed in 2015 and has since undergone treatment. She speaks to @BBCNuala about the hereditary impact of this on both her and her family ⬇️
