I am deeply saddened to hear of Susie Dore’s passing. I have heard so many fabulous things about her from Wynford - what an inspiration she was!

I am off the charts grateful for her work with Wynford and the many scientists who created what are now the Zing Performance Programmes, which frankly, make this world a better place.

I never met you Susie, but I need to let you know that without you, online, accessible, Zing Performance Programmes (with AI) would not exist, and I would still be one of the many people constantly battling with an under-developed cerebellum. I had no idea this level of happiness was possible with dyslexia and ADHD. I am eternally grateful for everything you gave the world and continue to give, though Zing Performance.

Rest in peace and pride Susie.

Wynford, Judy and I both sent our love. We both are still battling Covid, testing positive for two weeks ago. Hopefully we will be out and about next week.

Dear Wynford, I attached a video to your Instagram messages to express my sadness for your loss and how grateful I, and the children I teach your inspirational work to, are for you and Susie's contribution to helping dyslexic learners thrive. I hope you get it.
Much love and gratitude,

I had the pleasure of meeting Susie several times nearly 20 years ago while working on PR for the Dore Programme.

I was hugely sad to hear of her passing. I remember her as incredibly kind and genuinely interested in what I was doing—mostly asking lots of personal questions to uncover stories that could help raise awareness.

What has always stayed with me is the huge impact her story had. The way she shared her experiences inspired thousands, showing people with learning difficulties that there was hope. There was an alternative.

Love to you Wynford and the whole family!

Dear Susie,

I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but everything I knew of you through your father told me enough to know what a remarkable woman you were. I hope you find peace now, and I hope you know how deeply you were loved.

Your dad has always spoken about you with such pride and devotion. Everything he poured into the world was for you, and your spirit shines through in the work he continues to do. Through him, your light has touched so many of us including me.

With love and strength,
Rosie 🧡

Awww honey...I feel like I've have lost you all over again! Only forever this time. Susie and I lost contact a few years ago. We fell out over something stupid. But then we rekindled when susie was admitted onto the ward where i work.it was a shock..but then we couldn't stop talking about old times...catching up on life. We decided to stay in contact when she went back home. I know you had your demons babe...but we did talk through a lot of stuff! And you were the most stubbonist person i know! I will miss you..but you are in God's hands now. Be free up there in the sky hunny. There's no one that knows you like i do....
Love always kerry.xxxx

I never met you Susie, but I know the legacy, the importance, the love that you have given, not just to your Father and your family, but also to the rest of us. I have had the honour of having known your Father; Wynford for two or three years and have seen the passion, knowledge and following of what has been created because of his and the family's love for you. My thoughts are with Wynford and the family during this time and Rest in Peace Susie.

Echoing what Rose (Lord nee Meredith) says, Susie is responsible for inspiring the work that Wynford has dedicated his life to - work that changed Rose's life and the lives of thousands of others over the last 25 years and more.

This is shocking news and all our love and sympathy goes to Wynford and the family.

It is always hard to find a positive right in the moment of such sadness, but Susie's sudden passing has brought together so many people who have been touched by her life that it helps us all realise just what an important, so well-loved, person she is. If you met her, you never forget her.

Susie changed lives, and through her dad and with our own memories, she will continue to do so.

So sorry Wynford.

Susie was a beautiful soul whether she believed it or not, she changed the lives of thousands and her influence will continue to shine for generations to come.

We first connected through our shared experience of neurodiversity at such a pivotal time in my life, later worked together and became friends.

She brought such fun and warmth while her courage and story left a lasting impact.

Through Wynford's work, Susie's story has shaped my own path in life, and I will always be so grateful for her shining light.

Sending you all so much love

❤️❤️❤️

I had the privilege of doing the Zing program, following a 3 day retreat at your father's house, Susie. It was very clear how much you meant to him.

Your light will shine on in his work, and the lives that continue to be changed by it.

Rest in peace angel

Dear Wynford & Family

We are thinking of you all. When I heard you speak about Susie 3 years ago in London,, all I saw was love and admiration for your daughter.

Thank you both for changing the world for so many.

We are sending so much love to you 🩷

My dearest Susie. I've known you almost half of my life and loved you and your cheekiness from the day we met. You and the Dores are like my extended family and I am so grateful to have met you. Over the years we've shared many fun occasions which I will always hold dear but my heart sinks when I think of our annual Christmas dinner day at Dad's. Literally my Su chef. It'll never be the same again sweetheart without you. Such a beautiful caring soul you were my dear friend. Sleep tight with Teddy my Angel. Will love and miss you dearly Su xxxxx

I never met or knew Susie, although through Winford, I learned of the inspiration she has been for his work in helping and supporting others. She leaves a remarkable legacy and, from the contributions that I've read, one that reaches far, wide, and deep.

Thank you, Susie for your inspiration for the work that Wynford continues.

What a legacy to leave ❤️.

Both me and my son have hugely benefited from the research that Susie inspired. I would go as far as to say it’s changed the whole trajectory of our lives…

To Susie: Thank you for living your life with such purpose and being the source of an amazing programme.

May you now rest in peace.

With much love

Susie, you will be sadly missed but thank you for being a part of this world. Because of you, my youngest son had the pleasure of experiencing the DORE program and amazing abilities were created that supported his long term goals to live a great life. Thank you.

Rest in peace 🥀

I never met Susie. I have only met Wynford once, but he explained to me with great passion and enthusiasm how the experiences that Susie went through has inspired him to take positive action and that that has impacted the lives of so many people. Thanks to that one interaction my son, Kris, has been undertaking actions that in a very short time have already had a really positive impact on how he navigates life with ADHD. I thank Wynford and Susie for that. I and Kris now carry this with us as we navigate a path forward. All my love to the family, Bill

It is with great sadness that I learn that beloved Susie is no longer with us on Earth. It’s only a small consolation to feel certain that wherever her soul is right now, she is as adored and loved as can be. Bless her in every way. 🙏❤️🙏
I have never met beloved Susie in person but I feel I know her through her father Wynford. And I am one of the thousands of people who’s children, friends, family and clients have benefitted tremendously from her legacy.
Susie was the one who inspired her father to invest everything in helping her. The result had helped countless others. And the genius solutions Wynford found will only be more necessary for every child and adult on the planet as we move further into the AI future.
So thank you beloved Susie. Your beautiful soul has served so many and will continue to do so.
You indirectly helped my oldest son get rid of foggy brain and get back on his feet after he lost his little brother. I have no words for my gratitude 🙏❤️
May you rest in peace and always be bathed in all the Love and Light you have provided and will continue to provide to us on Earth.
Thank you for being a real angel.
I don’t know you but I will always love you.

When I first met Susie
I picked her up and we went for lunch just round the Corner from her home a place she loved to go

From that moment on we just clicked something so alike inside we had a sort of bond you know that feeling when you just know you understand each other so well

We talked and laughed until tears rolled out 😅
From that moment on although our time together was short as I lived away we always text each other not in the usual text sense like others …

we’d text our way!

So we’d send hundreds of texts to each other just by pressing the acorn button as i called it the special cheat button 😂
the voice message button and spoke our words in to our phones as we weren’t often on the other side of the world to each other
But that never stopped us

We had many of those conversations
One in particular about our teddies bears 🐻
How we both love our very one special bear

Hold your teddy tight Susie
I’ll miss you and love you forever ❤️🐻🌹

They say you shall always remember how someone made you feel and this I feel deeply.
Susie, your smile was an invitation wrapped in a gentle hug.
Twenty five years ago your hands held both of my children’s on their first days at kindergarten, your kindness, care and patience were a gift and the years that followed an inspiration.
Your smile shall live on in the hearts you have touched.
A beautiful soul taken too soon x

Susie was a wonderful lady and a very dear friend.
We’d speak most days, just chatted about our day and we’d often have a good laugh at the end of it.
We would hold each other up through the not so good days and always ended up laughing! That was the person she was, always turned the bad days into a laugh and she’d say tomorrow is another day!
She would often say one day we will go to Ibiza and have a girls holiday and dance all night!
I will miss Susie so much, she was a beautiful person inside and out and had a heart of gold.
We were very good friends and could talk about anything and everything!
I really will miss her and I’m devastated I’ll no longer be able to message her.
Although Susie had her struggles she would always try and turn things into a positive and was so supportive towards me.
Good night my lovely friend until we meet again. Xxx

Susie is the inspiration behind her dad’s life’s work, which has gone on to change millions of lives around the world.
She had a wicked sense of humour, and a sweet tooth. I remember discussing jam in doughnuts with her at dinner the last time I saw her - and we agreed it wasn’t necessary to make a doughnut a worthy dessert! 😁

Her legacy lives on in every life touched, every hope restored, and every person who found their way because of her. It started with you Susie, and you will continue to change lives forevermore.
With much love

I first met Susie over 20years ago, when I worked at Dore, created to help people who, like her, had faced the challenges of dyslexia and other learning differences. Her story inspired so many others. Susie's life touched more people than she may have realised and her legacy lives on and will continue to do so.

What can I say about Susie that hasn’t been already mentioned. She was a wonderful human, her demons were many, but they didn’t hold back the zest for fun or her drive to go on. She will be missed by both her family and friends alike, and we must remember the happiness she brought to the room when she entered, and not the emptiness she leaves now she has left it.

I owe an awful lot to Suzie Dore, my career in a field that I love.
She was the very heart of Wynford’s brain health program. 50,000 people around the world have been helped because of Susie.
I met her 24 years ago in Kenilworth, however, I got to know her really well over the last four years.
She will be sorely missed.
But her inspiration will live on forever.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Make a Wish Foundation.

Right now over 134,000 children in the UK are dealing with the gruelling daily reality of life with a critical illness. When it comes to their dreams, they deserve to wish for more than a life defined by their illness.

Critical illness brings a child’s joy to an abrupt end but Make-A-Wish UK is part of a global movement that grants life-changing wishes that have the power to turn tears into cheers, rescuing the magic of childhood even in their toughest times and providing a lifeline for families to spend precious time together.
