At least 21 people with epilepsy in the UK die each week. SUDEP Action, is the only UK charity dedicated to supporting those bereaved by epilepsy, raising awareness of epilepsy risks and tackling deaths in people with epilepsy, including Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).

Story

A group of us have decided to run Chester Half Marathon in Kat’s memory to raise money for SUDEP Action. This charity helps to support bereaved families like ours whose lives have been turned upside down in an instant. Their free counselling service helps to provide education, information, clarity and support to those dealing with the tragic and very often untimely loss of their loved ones from SUDEP. Kat should have been celebrating her 39th Birthday on 13th May. Instead, the following weekend we want to celebrate her, and honour her memory by raising money to support this small but invaluable charity.

Please help us to raise as much money as possible to allow this charity to continue with its amazing work.

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.
