Claire's Ride for a Reason

Raising Awareness and Support for SUDC                             
Claire Elizabeth Tomaszewski was a precious, happy, perfectly healthy little girl at age 2.  She had a mild ear infection and upset stomach with typical kid stuff symptoms on a Wednesday and died in her mommy’s arms on Friday morning, October 24, 2003. Her cause of death remains unexplained and has been categorized as SUDC (Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood).

SUDC occurs in children beyond the age of twelve months.  The cause of death remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation and autopsy. SUDC is a diagnosis of exclusion, in other words, a diagnosis of SUDC is made when other causes of death are not identified after a thorough evaluation. SUDC is not new, but it is very rare.  Its incidence is approximately 1 death per 100,000 children.  In comparison, the incidence of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is 50 times more common.

The SUDC Foundation, originally The SUDC Program created in 2001, is a registered 501(c)(3), that provides services, at no cost, to families and professionals affected by the sudden and unexpected death of a child over the age of 12 months. It is tasked with providing a centralized resource for information, support and advocacy. And it serves families and professionals affected by the tragedy of SUDC, and promotes awareness of SUDC in communities worldwide. For additional information, please visit www.sudc.org

Don and Maryann Tomaszewski will be sponsoring the 18th Annual Claire’s Ride for a Reason on October 15, 2023, a benefit for the Claire Elizabeth Tomaszewski Scholarship fund held in memory of their daughter.
