We raise awareness & fund research to make SUDC predictable and preventable

Story

Liam and Kate's youngest child Patrick died suddenly and unexpectedly in January 2020.

He was 15.

Patrick loved football, laughing with friends and occasionally fast food (no mayo). Sometimes he'd complain about his homework.

The family have since raised money and awareness for a variety of charities, and the small team at SUDC UK have been precious and much needed supporters. In April, fuelled by your encouragment Liam will run London Landmarks Half Marathon to fundraise for the charity.

Liam has also written a book, 'Red Balloons' with a share of the proceeds from each sale going to SUDC UK > https://amzn.eu/d/elvKurM

SUDC UK is a registered, national charity dedicated to raising awareness, funding research and supporting families affected by Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC).    

SUDC is the sudden and unexpected death of a child aged 1-18 years where the cause of death remains unexplained after a thorough investigation. 40 children are affected every year in the UK, more than young child deaths due to traffic accidents, fires or drowning and comparable to 1-2 seemingly healthy children dying every fortnight. Thank you for your support.
