Yesterday, my daughter, Kyra, passed away peacefully after a 9 month and 11 day fight against one of the cruelest diseases I’ve ever seen up close. She was diagnosed with Brain Cancer, specifically Glioblastoma. I have felt all of your concern and love for these months and wasn’t ready to be anymore specific than I was.
Kyra was a 28-year-old young woman who loved deeply and who is impossible to describe in 280 characters. While her life got stolen from her, she handled these months with courage, poise, and resolve. And all I want is for no family to feel what we feel today. For no young person to suffer the way she did.
In lieu of flowers, if you are moved to make a memorial gift, please consider “The Kyra Fund” (https://t.co/4bl8cxV1Dt)
This fund will be used solely to research treatments for Glioblastomas.
The Tartan Army marched through Miami Beach in full Scotland gear. The most impressive thing about this is their ability to do this in the intense Florida summer heat
In the dead of night, 1944, inside a Gestapo cell in occupied France…
The most wanted woman in the Resistance stripped bare and forced her slender body through iron bars no one thought possible. Dress clenched in her teeth, she dropped to the street and vanished into the darkness.
Her name was Marie-Madeleine Fourcade — the Hedgehog. 🦔
Born in 1909 into privilege, she flew planes, raced cars, and defied every rule made for women. When France fell, she took command of a tiny spy network at 31 — a mother of two — and turned it into the largest and most vital Resistance ring in occupied France. The only one led by a woman.
She built a secret army of nearly 3,000 agents — men and women from all walks of life — feeding Britain critical secrets, including a stunning 55-foot map of Normandy’s beaches for D-Day.
The Gestapo hunted a brutal man. They never imagined the elegant woman before them was their greatest threat.
But the cost was devastating. 💔 Hundreds of her agents were tortured and killed — including the man she loved. She moved constantly, changed identities, and while pregnant, made the heartbreaking choice to send her children away without even saying goodbye — watching silently from a window as they disappeared from her life.
Captured twice. Escaped twice. She rebuilt her network from ashes every time.
After the war, she devoted her life to honoring her fallen agents. Yet France overlooked her, awarding honors to her husband instead.
They forgot the Hedgehog.
She outlasted the Nazis. She outlasted the silence.
Now we remember.
Marie-Madeleine Fourcade — the fierce little woman who led 3,000 from the shadows and helped turn the tide of history. Even a lion would hesitate to bite.
Say her name. Share her story. Never forget.
La sensibilidad y educación de Pedri la demuestra cada día y en cada ocasión que se le presenta. Esto es de ayer en la zona mixta de Atlanta (los futbolistas no suelen pararse para medios sin derechos).
Me reafirmo: de las mejores personas que he conocido en este fútbol moderno.
🚨Rodri on Lamine Yamal becoming Spain’s youngest-ever World Cup goalscorer:
🗣️ “When a young player breaks records at a World Cup, people naturally start making comparisons with some of the greatest players in history.
You think about Pelé winning a World Cup as a teenager. You think about Lionel Messi, the impact he had at such a young age, and the way he could change games in an instant.
Lamine is writing the first chapters of his own story, but what he has in common with those players is his fearlessness.
The biggest talents never look overwhelmed by the occasion. They demand the ball, they play with personality and they make difficult things look simple. Lamine does that already.
What makes him a game-changer is not just his ability to score goals or create chances. It’s the way he changes the rhythm of a match. Defenders become nervous when he receives the ball because they know he can decide the game with one action.
For someone so young, his decision-making, his intelligence and his understanding of the game are exceptional.
The important thing now is to protect him, support him and allow him to keep developing without unnecessary pressure.
He doesn’t need to become the next Pelé or the next Messi. He needs to become the best version of Lamine Yamal.
If he continues with this mentality and this hunger to improve, the future has no limits for him.”

“I run fast, but not as fast as my mother. She escaped death and crossed the Sahara from Ghana to Spain. I gave her my medal because she deserves it more.” 🥹❤️
