What a lovely evening at the Make A Difference Awards. We were one of 4 finalists of 500 nominees. Thank you to Lauren Elizabeth for nominating me/us and thank you to Na Jay, Patrick O'Brien and Jackie Stubbs for sharing the evening. Thank you also Jackie for the beautiful flowers. We didn't win the award but I am extremely proud of what we have done and so thankful for all who have supported us since the start.

Our Summer Super Draw takes place on Saturday 29th August, and every ticket bought through one lottery helps raise money for our charity.

From the sun-soaked Greek islands to the dramatic Norwegian fjords, a cruise offers the chance to discover somewhere new every day – all while enjoying the comforts of life on board.

With £2,000 to spend, one lucky supporter could explore the Mediterranean, sail between beautiful coastal towns or put the prize towards a Caribbean escape.

Could it be you?

Wendy Shaw says her son Jon, who died in 2019, would be "thrilled" at what her charity has achieved.

Our Foundation relies totally on the generosity and caring nature of people to be able to help young people and their families. We receive no government grants to provide, what in reality, should be provided by universal services.

Without this support we could not

Provide monitors and safety pillows to offer independence to young people, to allow them to grasp opportunities to experience all they should, school trips, going out with friends, sleepovers, going away to university.

We wouldnt be able to improve health and wellbeing of parents and carers with the reassurance that if anything happens in the night they will be alerted.

We wouldn't be able to help to rebuild family relationships, young people back in their own beds. Mums and dads sleeping, instead of sitting up all night watching, waiting.

We are lucky to have the support of this amazing team, The White Lion who, every year for the past 4 years has, given up weekends to train, nursed blistered feet and aching bodies all to walk this 60 miles, to raise money to help these young people.

Please help them to achieve their target again this year if you can, by making a donation to their Just Giving page, and share with friends and family everywhere.

Thank you

Thinking about my Jon today, its 7 years since he was stolen away from us by SUDEP. A beautiful life cut short, a family devastated.
