Amelia's story
Amelia Roberts was beautiful, vivacious and just 21 when she tragically died from SUDEP (sudden unexpected death in epilepsy). SUDEP affects 1 in 1,000 people with the condition and is a key focus of research for us at Epilepsy Society. Amelia was inspired by the work we do and signed up to donate her brain for research at the Epilepsy Society Brain and Tissue Bank. Find out more about Amelia and how you can be part of our vital research programme.
