Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP)

DRC Sponsor: Jim Morrow

On November 28, 2017, 19-year-old Brendan Sime and son of our guest speaker Jennifer Sime lost his life to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Like so many families who have lost loved ones to SUDEP, they knew nothing about it and did not know Brendan was at risk.

In memory of her son, Jennifer has been a steadfast supporter for over six years through participation in multiple aspects of the Eplilepsy Foundation of America and the Danny Did Foundation including Walks to End Epilepsy, running marathons, and sharing her family’s story to raise awareness about SUDEP. She works to honor Brendan's life by helping others and continuing to share the love and light he brought into this world.
