Today is SUDEP Action Day

Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) is perhaps the most devastating possible consequence of epilepsy. Unfortunately, not everyone diagnosed with epilepsy is informed about SUDEP, the risks of SUDEP, or how to mitigate their risks.

SUDEP Action Day is aimed at helping raise awareness of SUDEP and inform the epilepsy community as well as the general public about steps one can take to reduce their risks. Raising awareness, increasing education, and starting conversations are all steps needed to help bring an end to SUDEP.

As the leading private funder of SUDEP research, CURE Epilepsy is honored to supportĀ SUDEP Action Day and will be posting content this week to help increase awareness and spark important dialogues about epilepsy and SUDEP.

Our mission is to fund breakthrough research that will transform the lives of people with epilepsy as we lead the search for a cure. CURE Epilepsy is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Our tax identification number is 36-4253176.
