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
Taking part in a tandem skydive is possible for many people with epilepsy.
The British Parachute Association says you can take part in a tandem skydive (where you are attached to a professional) if:
- You have been seizure free for the last two years, and
- You have not had any changes to your medicine in this period
You will need to get your doctor to sign a medical certificate. Solo skydiving is not considered safe for people with epilepsy.
