Our mission

At Dan Memorial, our mission is driven by a profound commitment to honour Daniel Geddes' memory and to prevent others from experiencing the same tragic loss. We aim to raise vital awareness of SUDEP and advocate for improved care for individuals with epilepsy.

Remembering Daniel: The heart of our mission

If there's one thing we want people to remember about Dan Memorial, it's that SUDEP needs to be openly discussed. Until Daniel's passing, we were unaware this could happen. Raising awareness helps ensure that no other family loses a loved one unnecessarily. We keep Daniel in people's memories by raising vital funds and awareness, working towards the changes that are so desperately needed.

Why understanding SUDEP is crucial

Increasing the understanding of SUDEP is a core part of our mission. We aim to help people grasp the condition, but more specifically, in Daniel's case, to advocate for professionals to provide better care for individuals with epilepsy and learning disabilities. Every conversation and every piece of information shared contributes to a better future.

Our vision for a brighter future

Ultimately, we envision Dan Memorial having a profound positive impact: that nobody has to endure the same barriers and heartbreak that our family has faced. We miss you, Daniel, and through our work, we strive to create a world where families receive the support and awareness they need.

"Dan’s Memorial has turned tragedy into a powerful force for change, ensuring Daniel's legacy helps countless others."
