This last year I have been on my own personal journey with weight loss and have fallen in love with running. This has led to me signing up to the Brighton marathon.

I am looking to fundraise for SUDEP Action in memory of Olivia Wallis a dear friend who I love and miss. Back in March 2024 I had the heart-breaking news that one of my best friends Liv had passed away unexpectedly due to her struggles with Epilepsy. Anyone who knew Liv knew she was a caring, loving but most importantly hilarious girl who was adored by all who knew her. She touched the lives of everyone she met and is missed dearly by all.

Although most people with epilepsy live long and healthy lives, epilepsy is one of the top-ten causes of early death. At SUDEP Action, they focus efforts on providing tools to help keep people safe and on the priorities that bereaved families tell us are important: To prevent deaths; To be supported; To be involved. Speaking with Liv's family SUDEP Action helped them a great deal following her passing and for this reason I'd like to fundraise for them.

I'd greatly appreciate any donation towards my fundraiser to honour the memory of someone so special.

Anyone who would like to support me during the run it is on April 12th 2026. I'd love to see you there.

Thanks in advance,

Ben x
