The Story

On Boxing Day 2021, our beautiful 3 year old son Alexander Bowes died unexpectedly and so far without explanation. In order to hopefully prevent this happening to other families, we want to raise money in his memory for SUDC to fund vital research and support families going through the unimaginable. Alexander was a joyous, kind boy who loved cars, Peter Rabbit and his best friend - his little brother Freddie. Please support SUDC in his honour.

SUDC UK

Raising funds for SUDC UK, a registered, national charity (1175413) dedicated to increasing awareness of Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood, supporting families and funding crucial research to better understand and prevent these tragedies. SUDC is the sudden and unexpected death of a child aged 1-18 years where the cause of death remains unexplained after a thorough investigation. 40 children are affected every year in England and Wales alone. This is more than young deaths due to traffic accidents, fires or drowning and comparable to 1-2 seemingly healthy children dying every fortnight, often going to sleep and never waking up.   There is limited awareness and research to understand SUDC and currently, no-one can predict or prevent these deaths. They continue to devastate families year on year.    Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood is one of the most under-recognised medical tragedies of our time. Please help us take action to stop children dying without explanation by donating and learning more at www.sudc.org.uk
