SUDEP Action Day
October awareness
What is SUDEP Action Day?
SUDEP Action Day is dedicated to raising awareness of epilepsy deaths worldwide.
Launched by us in October 2014 (as SUDEP Awareness Day), we want to shine a light on the largest cause of death in people with epilepsy and help empower others through increased awareness. Funds raised by us through SUDEP Action Day will contribute to important work in this area.
SUDEP Action Day is also a time when epilepsy organisations across the world come together with one voice and one united aim.
We must encourage every person with epilepsy, their families and health professionals to be more aware of risks and to take an active role in discussing, reviewing and reducing them.
SUDEP Action Day is an opportunity to discover more about our organisation, what we do and how we do it. On SUDEP Action Day we share stories and information and we want you to do the same, to raise awareness about epilepsy and SUDEP and spread understanding.
