The Little Girl behind the Charity
In 1998, Daisy, our only child at that time, was diagnosed with a rare and complex form of epilepsy - Severe Myoclonic Epilepsy (Dravat's Syndrome). She was just five and a half months old. Tragically, our darling girl died as a result of SUDEP (sudden and unexpected death in epilepsy patients), just three days after her 6th birthday. From the early hours of 14th April 2004, our world was

turned completely upside down, our lives changed forever.
Where do we go from here?
In our minds, we had no option but to turn such a hugely devastating tragedy into something positive to help other children like Daisy.
Our Saving Grace - Daisy's Little Sister
In early 2005, to my huge excitement I discovered that at the age of 41 I was pregnant! One sunny Wednesday afternoon in September, Grace Olivia Graland was born to two delighted parents. From that day on Grace has brought such incredible joy into our lives - we feel hugely lucky to have been blessed with two wonderful daughters.
