About Care-Alive

Care-Alive™ (The Caroline Cunningham Foundation for Epilepsy) was started by Caroline’s family and friends in 2009, after her death from SUDEP (Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy) in 2007, at the age of 32.

The goals of the foundation are to care for those living with epilepsy by providing support for individuals and their families and to raise awareness of both Epilepsy and SUDEP.

Care-Alive is run entirely by volunteers in order to keep administrative and operating costs to a bare minimum; which means, that we are able to direct almost 100% of our fundraising proceeds to the causes we support.

Care-Alive opened the TSX on Tuesday, March 1st to launch Epilepsy Awareness Month. The bell was “rung” by Elroy – a seizure-response dog! Check out the video

Care-Alive is a registered charitable foundation and issues tax receipts for all donations of $20 or more. Our charitable registration number is 80940 6952 RR0001.
