In September 2017, we lost our son, Jackson Antonio Clark. He was a happy, healthy little boy who loved shoes, spoons, cars, silly faces, and flower walks. Jackson sadly passed away in his sleep shortly after his second birthday.  After a thorough investigation we were never given a cause of death, making this a case of "Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood " (SUDC). 


Jackson was an early-riser so our family would often start the day with a little "flower walk" around the neighborhood. He loved to smell roses and blow on dandelion puff-balls on our walks near Green Lake.

We have an annual tradition of gathering for a "Jackson Flower Walk" during the month of September, since his birthday is on September 11 and his anniversary is on September 20. It's been a meaningful way to connect with family and friends, collectively remember Jackson, and spend time doing one of his favorite activities in our old Green Lake neighborhood. However, due to the pandemic, we will shift to a virtual gathering this year and invite you all to walk "with us" from the safety and convenience of your own neighborhoods. 

About this Fundraiser

For Jackson's Flower Walk this year, we're raising funds in memory of Jackson Antonio Clark for the SUDC Foundation. (The funds will go directly to them via this GoFundMe page.)

The mission of the SUDC Foundation includes funding research crucial to uncovering the mystery of SUDC, providing support to families and professionals worldwide who have been affected by the sudden and unexpected death of a child, and raising much-needed awareness.

You can also support the SUDC Foundation by purchasing apparel via our Bonfire campaign. You can find the links to these shirts on our website.
