HBA Support was set up in 2020 by Rebecca and Emma Middleton. After losing their mum and grandmother to brain aneurysms, Rebecca went through her own battle for diagnosis and subsequent treatment for a right MCA brain aneurysm.
Discovering the lack of balanced and accessible information available, Rebecca founded HBA Support to improve the situation for future patients and their families.
