A Message from Our President (retired)
One Shared Voice
“What started as a small group of parents and scientists in 2001, has turned into an international network of families, medical professionals, researchers and death investigators collaborating to solve the most under-recognized medical mystery of our time. Today, we support over 1,000 families in more than 21 countries, advocate for the needs of our community and fund critical groundbreaking research to understand SUDC and help prevent it. The SUDC Foundation represents a community with many stories, but one shared voice, all working towards a future free of SUDC.”
The SUDC Foundation has been named an Official Charity Partner for the 2022 TCS New York City Marathon – the 51st running of the event – scheduled for November 6.
This partnership offers us an incredible opportunity to raise funds to support the Foundation and our mission to promote awareness, advocate for research and support those affected by #SUDC on a worldwide stage.
We thank you in advance for helping us live in a world without #SUDC.

Understanding the Research
“Thomas’s cause of death was undetermined, but the medical examiner spoke to us several times to try to help answer our questions. She identified SUDC resources for us and assisted with our efforts in pursuing research opportunities to help us try to understand not only his death, but also help medical research better understand these deaths in order to prevent this tragedy for another family.”
