In Honor of Grace Peebles

Grace Isabell Marlatt Peebles – a cherished daughter and step-daughter, beloved sister and step-sister - lived for 23 years, 9 months, and 7 days before she passed away from SUDEP on April 4, 2021.  In her short time, she touched her family’s life, and the lives of the people around her, in profound and permanent ways.  

Grace’s view of the world was shaped by her intrinsic belief that we needed to be kinder to each other, that compassion and empathy should be the foundation of our actions, and that supporting the most vulnerable among us was the only way forward for us all. She intended her life’s work to be of service to others, to find a way to be truly helpful.

All those who loved Grace (and were fortunate enough to be loved by her) are grateful that this Research Grant will be used to further her belief that we need to all try and help each other.  Through this work, we find a way to celebrate her life.  Grace was a great soul, and this Research Grant brings us together again. 

All donations made to Epilepsy Canada in Grace’s honour will go to the Grace Peebles SUDEP Research Grant
