Refuge is leaving X but you can continue to follow and support the charity on BlueSky, Instagram and Facebook.

[Refuge @RefugeCharity]

After careful consideration, Refuge has made the decision to leave X/Twitter.

This decision reflects our ongoing commitment to prioritising the safety and well-being of survivors. We are grateful to all those who have supported our vital work🧵(1/3)

Thinking of everyone affected by brain tumours, those still fighting and those who we've, sadly, lost. #ShineALight #BTAM @braintumourrsch

Can't believe it's been two years. Amani is never far from my thoughts. Her tragic story is a constant reminder of why we do what we do. Thinking of you all, especially today ❤️

[Khuram @Khuram1972]

Today, we remember the 2nd anniversary of the passing of my daughter Amani. It seems like only yesterday that I was holding you in my arms. You have been an inspiration to a generation.
Your love and strength lives in our hearts forever . Rest in heaven until we meet again. 💔

Kish was diagnosed with an epithelioid hemangioendothelioma in 2008 and hospitalised for months after surgery left him with problems forming new memories 💔

He turned to humour to cope but is doing a sponsored no jokes week in December 💛

Sam is an inspiration and his video is powerful, highlighting the importance of what we @braintumourrsch do and why it's so important for everyone to sign our petition ❤️

[Brain Tumour Research @braintumourrsch]

Sam, from South West London, is a much-loved #BrainTumourResearch supporter/campaigner. Following the shock news his tumour had grown, last night – on the eve of his biopsy – he recorded this video urging people to sign our #BrainTumourPetition ➡️ https://t.co/Vzp7AuNBKM
