SED remove everything before string

I have a plain Mail and i need to remove everything before Summary of client activity for the last 24 hours i thought it would work best with sed.

I searched the internet but there it's just with a delimiter or something similar.

You have any ideas?

Part of the Mail:

...(Personal Part of the Email)...
...
The following clients have no associated schedule
NodeDomainContact
-KABA-FILESYSTEM-
-USTICA-FILESYSTEM-

Summary of client activity for the last 24 hours
DomainNodenamePlatformTypeActivityData amountElapse timeAffectedFailedMedia     wait
-FILESYSTEM-ABSYNTHE-Linux x86-64-XFS-
BACKUP-
337.5 MB-
00:00-
60-
0-
0
...

Desired Output:

Summary of client activity for the last 24 hours
DomainNodenamePlatformTypeActivityData amountElapse timeAffectedFailedMedia     wait
-FILESYSTEM-ABSYNTHE-Linux x86-64-XFS-
BACKUP-
337.5 MB-

Using awk:

awk '/Summary of client activity for the last 24 hours/{p=1}p' file

Or sed:

sed -n '/Summary of client activity for the last 24 hours/,$p' file

Test with your email example with awk (sed cmd above has same output):

kent$  cat f

You can use sed address range to not print all lines from first to the pattern as

$ sed -n '1, /Summary of client activity for the last 24 hours/!p;
DomainNodenamePlatformTypeActivityData amountElapse timeAffectedFailedMedia     wait
-FILESYSTEM-ABSYNTHE-Linux x86-64-XFS-
BACKUP-
337.5 MB-
00:00-
60-
0-
0
...

To include the Summary... line as well, 

$ sed -n '1, /Summary of client activity for the last 24 hours/!p; /Summary of client activity for the last 24 hours/p' test
Summary of client activity for the last 24 hours
DomainNodenamePlatformTypeActivityData amountElapse timeAffectedFailedMedia     wait
-FILESYSTEM-ABSYNTHE-Linux x86-64-XFS-
BACKUP-
