In 2017, Sophie’s son Felix died suddenly and unexpectedly. He was 20. His death was recorded as SUDEP – Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy. The small charity SUDEP Action does wonderful work supporting the bereaved, and funding research into why SUDEP happens. At present, the cause isn’t known, but it predominantly affects young adults, particularly young men.
Sophie has a small project, called The Dart Map, created with her artist friend Anna Dunscombe, to raise money for SUDEP Action. Anna has painted a beautiful pictorial map of the Dart Gorge (with Felix pictured in the centre, reading a book on the river bank as was his wont) which we are selling as prints and tea towels.
