Research study exploring what it means to live with familial (hereditary) intracranial aneurysms (FIAs) by Lily George, MSc Genetic and Genomic Counselling at Cardiff University

Hereditary Brain Aneurysm Support is proud to launch the Patient and Family Advisory Panel (PFAP), a new voluntary group bringing together the voices of people and families affected by brain aneurysms to help shape the future of our work.

Dawn Roberts discovered she had a hereditary brain aneurysm after her daughter suffered a life-threatening rupture. Following successful endovascular surgery to treat the aneurysm, she is now three years post-treatment and living life to the full. Dawn describes herself as grateful and more positive than ever, enjoying time outdoors with her animals and family. As a trustee for HBA Support, she now uses her experience to help others feel informed and reassured.

We are committed to listening to people and families impacted by brain aneurysms, and making sure our communities voice is heard.
