Our first Fun in the Forest Activity day for Bereaved Siblings
Gorgeous weather, lots of fun and new skills learned. What could be better. The boys had a great time and even invited their family to have a go at archery. Looking forward to the next day on 03 July 2021
Celebrating Jon’s 21st birthday and International Epilepsy day.
Local schools, businesses, residents family and friends came together to remember Jon and raise funds for our Foundation. The support was overwhelming and it was lovely to talk to everyone about Jon and what we’re doing in his memory.
Sarah Louis runs a marathon for Jon and SUDEP
Sarah Louise was due to run the London Marathon but it was cancelled because of the Covid pandemic. So she decided to run a marathon in her local areato raise money and promote awareness of Jon Shaw Foundation and of SUDEP. She lost her cousin some years before to SUDEP so understood how it could affect the whole family.
Thank you to Sarah Louise on behalf of all the young people who will benefit from her efforts. She was supported, on the day by friends from her running club who joined her for part of the route.

Jon a life in photos
Jon loved his family and was very close to his brothers. He enjoyed playing rugby and was quite good at throwing in athletics field events. He really loved spending time with his brothers, going out with friends and generally living life to the full.
He was diagnosed with epilepsy at age 16 but he was determined not to let it stop him doing the things he wanted.
He had planned to travel after he had completed his apprenticeship and spoke a lot of visiting Australia and New Zealand.
