This September, my friend and I are setting off on an exciting adventure—cycling from John O’ Groats to Land’s End in just 9 days! From the 8th to the 16th, we’ll be riding 984 miles, covering around 90 to 120 miles each day as we make our way from the very top of Scotland to the bottom of England. We’re doing this to raise money for SUDEP Action, in memory of my amazing little sister, who sadly passed away in 2012 due to a seizure. SUDEP Action works to raise awareness and support families affected by epilepsy, and every donation will help make a real difference. We’re excited, determined, and so grateful for your support—thank you!

Although most people with epilepsy live long and healthy lives, epilepsy is one of the top-ten causes of early death. At SUDEP Action, we focus our 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.

We have won national and international honours for our achievements to date, but we recognise there is much more work to do, and this is why we need your donations. With your help we can strive to make a difference.
