Amani became a staunch supporter of the charity Brain Tumour Research.

The charity is the driving force behind the call for a national annual spend of £35 million in order to improve survival rates and patient outcomes in line with other cancers such as breast cancer and leukaemia and is also campaigning for greater repurposing of drugs. She and her family spoke out at time when it would have been easier for them to retreat and for that, along with our sadness, we have such respect and admiration for this remarkable young woman who has left us far too soon. Amani’s story touched everyone who heard it, and that she was prepared to share so much of herself with others speaks volumes of the person she was. I really felt like I knew her and she inspired me with her strength and fight for research. She seemed like such a beautiful and awe inspiring soul and she did touch the lives of so many. She’s my hero and was the most amazing ambassador for Brain Tumour Research. Love you forever Amani!”
