In the past 21 years, over 21,000 people with epilepsy have died suddenly and died too young. SUDEP Action’s Prevent21 campaign shines a light on this shocking disaster. With a significant change of attitude, culture, and action towards epilepsy - many lives CAN be saved. Knowledge saves lives.

Story

<p>Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.&nbsp; We have been running a stall at the <a href="http://www.furzedown.net/festival.html">Furzedown Festival Funday</a>&nbsp;for several years, raising money for two epilepsy charities, the <a href="http://www.epilepsynse.org.uk">National Society for Epilepsy</a> and <a href="http://www.sudep.org/">Epilepsy Bereaved</a> in memory of my brother, David. &nbsp; We have fun thinking up new games each year, including animal vegetable competitions, roll-a-penny, pick-a-lolly, hoopla, treasure island and we always have lots of bunting!</p> <p>This year we ran a brooch making workshop and lots of lovely people came and made beautiful floral brooches and hair clips from our collection of vintage buttons and amazing fabrics. We raised &pound;40, and thank you for all your contributions. This will be&nbsp;split between the two charities, EB and NSE.&nbsp;</p> <p>We are grateful for a very generous donation of fabric samples from&nbsp;<a href="http://www.eawates.com/">E &amp; A Wates</a>&nbsp;on Mitcham Lane. And also thank you&nbsp;all for taking&nbsp;part&nbsp;with such enthusiasm and creativity&nbsp;and you&nbsp;for your generous support and donations.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you would like to donate to EB, please follow the instructions at the bottom of this page. &nbsp; If you would like to donate to the NSE, please have a look at our&nbsp;<a style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;" href="../FurzedownFundayStall-NSE">other justgiving webpage</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>Many thanks, and hope you enjoy your brooches.<br /><br />best wishes, gillan and garry xxx</p>
