Abbie went to sleep on the 1st December 2006, we later found out she had passed in her sleep with Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).
We were left devasted as she was our only child in our life.

In Abbies memory we have set up a charity named Abbies Love, and through numerous fundraising activities we have so far managed to raise over £66'000. All proceedings go towards Epilepsy Research and support. A recent donation of £30'000 has been given to James Cooks hospital in Middlesbrough, bringing the total donated to the hospital to £60'000.
