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

My brother John sadly passed away last year at the age of 29, a tragedy that should have never taken place. As we try to find different ways to come to terms with the unthinkable sad reality that he is not with us physically we came across this SUDEP Action charity and wanted to raise awareness of the work they are doing for those who pass away suddenly and their families.

About SUDEP Action:

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.
