Raising money for

Epilepsy Bereaved

Charity Registration No. 1050459

Help us work towards the prevention of 3 seizure related deaths a day in the UK. Since we formed ten years ago, Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) has been recognised by both government and clinicians, resulting in general agreement regarding ways to reduce the risks. We provide a specialist service; informing and educating, promoting and funding research into SUDEP and providing a specialist support service for those bereaved by SUDEP.

My story

UPDATE

In glorious sunshine and 29 degree heat, I finished the Stockholm Marathon in a modest 5hrs 21 minutes. A full race report will follow shortly !

---------------------------------------

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the charity Epilepsy Bereaved.

This summer I will be running the Stockholm Marathon (May 30th) and walking the Tour du Mont Blanc in 7 days (August). I encourage you to take part by sponsoring me in this charity double-header !

Three people die every day from epileptic seizures in the UK with many more deaths estimated worldwide. In 2007, my brother Matthew died suddenly and unexpectedly from a seizure. He had shown no signs of epilepsy and was a fit, healthy 27 year old. Thanks to consistent lobbying for over 10 years, Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) is now recognised in a growing number of countries as an official cause of death. Despite ongoing research, however, very little is understood about it.

Epilepsy Bereaved is a small charity without a dedicated fundraising department. Their mission is as follows and your donation - no matter how small - will have a tangible impact:

- Support for bereaved families
- Raising awareness
- Research into the prevention of SUDEP

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and secure. If you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully for sponsoring me !
