Nicki Walker’s Christmas Craft and Gift Fair raised £1,500 for SUDEP Action, in memory of her sister Tania Knight who sadly died 18 months after getting married. “It was a superb day… We had 563 people through the door from 12-5pm and everyone had a great afternoon. Fabulous feedback from the customers and stall holders. I know my beautiful sister would have loved it, raising money for such a great cause and helping to raise awareness.” #SUDEP #epilepsy
