Sandra’s story
Sandra took part in a skydive in memory of her brother, Jack and raised over £400:
“I completed a skydive in memory of my little brother, Jack, who passed away due to SUDEP, aged just 22. The skydive was amazing and an experience that I’ll never forget. I really did feel like Jack was there with me. It was even more rewarding that I’ve raised money for such an amazing charity to help others affected by the condition”
Skydiving and epilepsy
