Push-Up Golf Outing for Danny Did Foundation

The Push-Up Challenge will move to the Golf Course for one day...

Join us on November 8th at Hawthorne Woods Country Club for 18 holes to protect kids with epilepsy.

Kevin Cohen and Nathan Wysocki have been dedicated to the #pushupsforepilepsy challenge for months. They each complete 100 push-ups a day in an effort to raise funds for the Danny Did Foundation. Join the fun as they do their 100 push-ups on the course while enjoying a round of golf.. you can join in for a few too before you tee off!

The event will include a 9 am shotgun start shamble, 18 holes, box lunches, prizes...and perhaps a few sore arms, all for those little ones fighting seizures.

Danny's father wrote in his obituary, "Please go and enjoy your life, Danny Did." We will do just that on a beautiful fall day as we bring our A-game for kids facing epilepsy.

Event Proceeds will benefit the Danny Did Foundation.

Founded by Chicago parents Mike and Mariann Stanton in 2010 after the sudden death of their four-year-old son Danny, the Danny Did Foundation’s primary mission is to prevent deaths caused by seizures. The Foundation advances public awareness of epilepsy and Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), strives to improve communication about SUDEP between medical professionals and families affected by seizures, and advocates for the mainstream acceptance and use of seizure detection and prediction devices that may assist in preventing seizure-related deaths.

Epilepsy affects 3.4 million people in the United States and 65 million people worldwide. One in 26 Americans will develop epilepsy during their lifetime. But what few people understand, including many people with epilepsy, is that seizures can be fatal. More people die as a result of seizures than from fires and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) combined. In addition to deaths caused by drowning, other accidents, and status epilepticus (prolonged seizures), thousands of deaths occur annually from SUDEP, a fact that is little known and too rarely addressed by medical professionals and in public discussions of epilepsy.

The Danny Did Foundation takes it's name from the last line of Danny Stanton’s obituary, written by his dad: “Please go and enjoy your life. Danny did.” We celebrate Danny’s spirit in every child and family we reach.
